Thread: coilovers

well i finally made coilovers for the front of the gtp, and took the bullitts off for the winter. i think the car looks sooo much better without wheel gap lol. after winter ill make them for the back, until then i just cut a few coils to bring the back down a little since ill be raising the front up once it snows. i dont know how to upload pics so heres a link.

please explain. pictures? build notes? springs used? what struts?

need WAY more information to round out this thread.

i can probably upload some pics later. i just used stock struts for now, next spring ill prolly get some agx's. all i did was cut the perch off and grind the weld down smooth. i ordered sleeves and nuts from a1racing. and used qa1 thrust bearings and qa1 275 lbs springs with a 2.5" inside diameter. the upper mount i gutted and remove all the rubber. then welded the upper cup or anit pogo washer to the mount. and used sway bar bushings on both sides of the mount.

Oh god YeS!

That is hot!

I can't wait to get coilovers in my Grand Prix

I've seen the write up over on clubGP, I would do mine but I like the top mount they make on the ZZP ones

Figures I sell my gp and someone FINALLY makes these. I might just have to got buy another W-body now!!!












































OK YOUR RIGHT NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

My car is that low....phtoshopped lol
Looks badass man

Cool Shawn....cool...

Damn that's nice. You have any extra vibrations and such with it that low?

it vibrates a little. i have the shorter dog bones as well. im sure if i got the engine spacers it would be gone. or raised it up a little bit, but raising it up just seems uncalled for lol cause it looks so good tucking

raise the motor and trans with some spacers. that'll solve your problem completely.

ooooohhhhh niiiicceeeeee.
ps.. whered you get your "Dash marks" on the fenders?

thanks. i got the fender sport stripes off ebay. i like them.... somethin different i guess lol

Yes I know this but who is going to pay $1,000,000.00 for them.
Someone figured out how to MAKE SOME.

The info to make your own has been out a while now to, it's just not well known that there is a writeup on doing them. They're on CGP pretty much.

so its just a universal coilover kit and modded stock struts, hm.
