• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

I'm posting up suspension check list here to see what you all think of it or if there is something I've missed or is a better option! If anyone has input It would be greatly appreciated!! Last one about my suspension I promise! I just want to do it right!!
04 Grand Prix FTP overhaul (non comp g)

-KYB struts
-Monroe mounts
-Comp g springs (can't seem to find where to buy these new anyone have a link please?)
-2x Moog control arm (ball joint is out might as well do it all)
-2x trailing arms, not sure on brand but probably Moog?
-Swaybar end links Moog
-Anti-pogo's (zzz) probably not necessary but might as well
-Engine & Trans mounts
-Strut boots
----not sure on this, will I need rear lower spring idolaters? & front upper&lower spring isolates?? If so what brand is preferred?----
I'm pretty sure that is everything I have so far! I think it is complete but please take a look and tell me if there is anything ive missed or anything you would recommend instead! Thank you!
 


If your strut boots aren't torn, I wouldn't replace them.
Your stock ones might be dirty(so they're doing their job), but the aftermarket ones are not as sturdy, and will eventually rip/tear.

I believe Dorman would be a good pick for trailing arms, they're tubular, not like the stamped u channel stockers.

Thank you for the info on the boots! Saved me $$ and then some in the long run! So Dorman is less expensive and a better part? Or is it just for trailing arms?
 
No Im talking actual GM part #'s from gmpartnow, amazon , or what ever site you choose. They cost more, but it is money well spent in my opinion. I have had a couple different mount setups and went back to all brand new GM mounts and the car feels fantastic.

Gotcha so on rockauto is it just a acdelco?
Will GXP springs raise the height of kyb struts on a 04?

I believe all 04+ springs are the exact same.

Here is part #'s for GM mounts, I have not been able to find AC delco mounts. You can search for them on ebay or amazon if you want a better price. I thought GMpartsnow was fair, and you can get them all at once

Lower engine - #10448575
Lower trans -#22146834
Upper engine bracket -#22146834 (x2)
Dog bone/engine strut -#10230877 (x2)

Like I said it cost more, but its worth it if you want a smooth feeling car. Plus the autostore versions tend to wear quickly.

What about the wbodystores 6piece mount kit? Does shortened dog bones do anything if you're not lowered?
