    I have put a body kit on my GTP and now it is too low. Where is the best place to but a kit to lift me up a bit and what should I buy? I believe this GTP has a lowering kit on it but I don't need it. I would like great handling. Don't need it to be smooth. Just corner very good. Basically what do I but?

    New KYB AGX struts with new stock springs should do the trick.

    Thats why I suggested AGX struts for adjustable firmness.

    AGX's are worthless if they are used with stock springs. Just stick with the GR2's/excel g's on stock springs.

    I'd say you'll need an air bag kit.

    Take some measurements and see if going back to stock will help you, then. I don't think I've seen anyone have trouble with the body kits out there on stock suspension.

    In general, the higher the vehicle, the worse the handling.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
