Something's different...

Something seems different about the front end of my car... seems to handle differently. Wonder what it could be. Any ideas???

cradle bolts are good... i think it may have something to do with all the empty boxes I have left over now... :)

Probably the jack holding the car up. I doubt that would let the car rock at all. Like it was riding on steel wheels. ;)
 
Zef, i think that mod would only work well if it were in the back... it'd be tough going anywhere with the front end not touching. ;)

Ok, I'll give you a hint... there's a lot of stuff in that picture that isn't made for an 05 grand prix...

I see an aluminum subframe. And black painted control arms....am I getting warm?
 
its an 05 so aluminum subframe is stock...control arms are close (old ones were black too but these are new ones).... what else?
 
What kind of rotors are those? and what kind of struts are those? calipers are stock painted right?
 


Sabrewings has got it almost all nailed down (AGX struts and SS lines with Fbody brakes... Hawk HPS pads and EBC slotted/coated rotors). Still one BIG thing left out thats kind of hard to see in the picture but if you know what the stock suspension looks like, it will be obvious what is missing from my setup.

as for anodized aluminum or painted steel... i couldn't tell you.
 
You got it! To my knowledge, this is the first 04+ with the full front end build. It was an awesome 4 hour install all at once.
My list includes:

KYB AGX adjustable struts
SSC Lowering springs
GMPP 98-03 front sway bar (this thing is about 3 times the size of the stocker... its amazing!!)
98-03 control arms
TPR sway bar end links
SS brake lines
Fbody calipers
Hawk HPS pads
EBC Slotted rotors

Good eyes!! Anyone ever hear of another 04 with aftermarket sway bar or struts up front? If so, post a link!!!
 
man, it is on rails... I may have to do some autox now. The rear is built too so it stays so flat around turns its amazing. With the brake upgrade too, I can come down the curvy mountain road I do my "spirited driving" or "new suspension testing" I can make it all the way to the bottom with zero brake fade at all. Before I couldn't make it half way down before the brakes got unhappy.

Are you talking about the road over the mountain to Elimsport? What route is that? 554?

If so, that is a damn fun road to drive. :D
