Thread: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged

As long as the impacts at my neighbors. The usual compressor I use is being used rn by their son. So I'm hoping he didn't take all the air tools too, or at least theirs doubles. My gparents have a compressor I can use so well see.

You don't need no sticking compressor use regular handtools you princess

Meh, so much easier with a compressor. N with having to do the lca's too, if not I'll just wait.

^_^ spoiled little brat

I use hand tools for just about everything. Come on kory

Dan uses his hands for everything

So here we go, got the lcas, coils on n old sway bar off. Pappas stopped by n helped me with lining up the rears n just kept me company for a few hours. So lca's are easier than I thought, nuts n bolts all came off easy. First ball joint popped right off with a hammer hit, then the driver gave me some issues. Wouldn't come off for the life of it, had to cut the rubber, shove a 7/8 wrench in it and pop it off like you would a pickle fork, altho I didn't have one.
So then I put the front coilovers on, dropped them about an inch from where it was before. I have about another inch I could drop yet on it too.
Now with the rears, since that bracket is still on, it isn't dropping nearly as much as I want it too. That one is all the way down, I'm hoping since it is all brand new, it will still settle more.
So the springs are hyperco, they're all 10 inch with non rated eibach helper springs n genesis guides. Front rates are 375, n the rears are 275. I also have an extra set of 10 inch (silver ones, forgot the name of em n spring rates)
I got home n of course the new sway bar was there, so I have to out that on eventually.

Holy 4x4 status

Yuuup, rakin' it rn. Hoping they settle, or rear springs are going back on until I can tear the bracket off n figure what to do.

Cut the bracket.. But for as much work that was put into them I wouldn't and would just leave them as is looks good as is

Looks good to me. You don't wanna go to low on the agxs or else you'll blow em out.

Yeah well see, the sleeve was notched for the bracket. I just reread the fs thread n it says 11 inch springs. But I thought they were 10. So If they are I can get 10 n hopefully drop it some. It's staying now for a while till I get sick of it if it doesn't go lower.

Thanks n gotcha, how much gap do you have in the rear? N what size n rate springs you running if you don't mind me asking?

I threw my 350x12" out back that I used to have out front. I have 10" 450 up front

Okay, do you have brackets in the rear or no? N did you do anything about the sway bar if you dont?

I knew that bracket setup was going to cause problems.. I asked him about the way he did them and he said that it shouldn't affect anything... but your loosing like 2 inches of drop bc of it.. I would scrap the bracket and just run a regular sleeve so you have the option to lower more... that rear is looking like stock right now lol
