Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged

Just ordered a set of headers from ssac for $200. They lowered shipping to $25! So hopefully I will actually get this order. I did it thru paypal and been talking to msgram since day one cuz we've both been thru this same crap together. So my fingers are crossed that these ones come thru.
 


We'll I got fu*ked on my headers again! Waiting for another refund from ssac. They claimed the price was wrong on the website and had to cancel n file a claim against em. They raised the price to $250 the day after I had my order in too :( so back on the search for them. I also bought some red spo grilles from a member here and just ordered my rims! I found some used 19" tires with 80% tread for $300. Idk what would be the best size tire for the rims so if you have some experience, feel free to help.

Ima try em red first, but might paint em if I don't like it, idk what color tho. I'm going for red and grey theme, but already have a grey arrowhead and front n rear inlays n if I do grey it might clash in front..?

Sucks about the header fiasco...Speed Daddy again??
Those are some nice wheels, they should look superb with the red...paint the grills silver to somewhat match the wheels
As far as the wheels I would do 245

Really!! probably just want to tackle the wheel thing right now....when summer is here and you rolled on your new wheels you might be more up to dealing with header customer service...you are probably on the brink of postal right now
 
Yeah silver sounds good. I didnt know how close the red would be. But idk im gonna try n take my time with the headers..it just annoying. The wheels n lowering should just come first if it all comes together smoothly.

Sad to say I think im gonna grab some dna's I read quite a bit about em n see a lot of people werent mad about em. Ik ssc are claimed to be better but idk. Wheres the place to buy ssc springs? I see zzp is 220 + 30 for anti pogo washers. I tried looking up the parts number for subframe washers on parts direct n couldn't find the parts #. Dna are $80 n I thinkll do the job.
 


SSC have to be ordered from Canuck Motorsports, they are 197 shipped. The pogos I got from the W-Body store because ZZP only had red for extra $.
I researched the hell outta the springs and there are a few people on here who have the DNA....but as far as the pictures I've seen SSC were always consistent in the drop and far better. Mine worked close to 2" drop front and back. I wish I would have written down the measurements but at the time I was remembering all the specifics...hindsight damn. Also after reading all the seasoned vets reviews about SSC I couldn't justify not spending the extra 100 for a guarantee knowing I was going to have to put a few hours in switching them and didn't want to settle for anything but at least 1.7
 
Right I hear you on that n thats not bad for 197. Im not worried if its only 1.7" or not I just want to lessen up thw wheel gap a bit. This is my daily driver even in snow. So I dont wanna go too much. Thats why I might settle for dna. N maybe if I dont like em I can just gwt the ssc in summertime. But im just gonna try em to start out with to see for myself. Thank you tho I will check out the canuckmotorsports.
