Btw I was running a 10" wedssport with the exact same suspension set up at the same height. No problems at all except still no traction hahaha
 


Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

you really should try and run some more camber. the poke is too much right now and you need to tuck a little more.

otherwise i like it, glad some more people are trying the down and out theory of suspension modding.
 
Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

I really liked how the 5ziegen's look. The new wheels are sick too. Really nice car man!

There actually isn't much poke they do tuck and you should live in my city and drive on my streets hahaha this is as low as the car can go and stay drivable I still swerve and bottom out everywhere but ya did you see the beer bottle height ya that is pretty low. And as far as I know there is no camber plates for the w-body

Nice ride, I'm hoping to be on coils one day.

And my recommendation is of you are going to get coils defiantly ask for the stiffer spring rate from the company who manufactures them for zzp I think they are westshorefabricators because the spring rate they come with is just garbage if you want to go any lower than factory you will bottom out on the smallest of bumps... I have my stiffer springs on the way I will post an update about how it changes them. But ya coils as is from zzp garbage don't recommend them unless the stiffer springs help a lot the car is almost not driveable

i'm as low as you on spring, bud. ;) going lower again (was on coils once already) next spring.

the tire tread may be tucked, but there's still some good amount of sidewall hanging out of the fenders. that's the part that gets me.

I'm going to piece mine together instead of getting those. I've got Konis I need to get sent off to be rebuilt, will have modified housings, and the rest is cheap. I'll have more in rebuilding the struts than the rest of it.

I have like another 3 and a half to 4 inches to drop on the coils it's rediculous I could have the frame on the ground and the tires in the air haha but... It is just not driveable around the roads in my city it gets really cold where I live and causes the roads to crack and have massive potholes. If your grandprix is any lower I personally invite you to daily drive it in my city without raising it :p I'm still about some function not all form
 
Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

i drive a subaru, so it's not really comparable. and milwaukee streets are some of the worst in the nation, right up there with detroit. we have no money for road projects.

i just swerve more often.
 


Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

I live in Saskatchewan Canada hahah anywhere in the states would be a god send for roads. But for the gp the exhaust and subframe hang pretty low off the undercarriage i scrape pretty much everywhere and the spring rate I'm running is sub par (ordered stiffer ones) cause the bottom of the shock "bottoms out" when it comes in contact with the top of the shock tower when I get a stiffer spring I will post an updated low picture post
 
Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

The hoods are just a serious pain to get shipped to Canada I'm looking at around 500 bucks just to ship it over here then I need to paint it if I can find one local I will most defiantly snag it up or if anyone on the forums posts one I will send them a message I want the SD style hood That and the SD air dam are the only aftermarket body add ons I like
 
Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

I enjoy the health care up here and the fact everyone doesn't walk around with a gun hahah but the roads and shipping are defiantly ****ty
 


Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

Polly Trans mount Polly engine mount Polly dog bone mounts and Polly engine mounts just came in along with the long awaited aluminum coolant elbows billet aluminum oil cap and a zzp shirt hahahah I hope she puts some more power to the ground I've heard good things about these mounts
 
Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

walking around with a guns the best part. :D haha. i need those elbows haha. when i first got the car. the firsttime i went WOT bam.. changed them everything else was good. theres almost no rust on the car as far as i can tell.
 
Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

Guns is best part till ya go to a movie and don't finish it... And I just blew one of those elbows on a road trip electrical taped it and them put 3 zip ties to hold it together hahaha I have pics it's pretty funny I should post it
 
Re: Clark's 2002 gtp

haha thats the american way :P. but mine busted out inside the housing. so there wasnt really a way to do that aha. thought aboutjb weld. but i needed it done right then and there. and the parts store didnt have it. so i called this mechanic i know he came picked it up and had it ready for me within an hour. talk about good service ;D

well. it was illegal to take it into the movie theater.. but that was so sad :/
