    F-body Brakes (get the brackets tapped)-
    SLP sway bars -
    ssc springs- (these seem to have the better ride) Id say get a decent pair of struts while your at it.

    You could also get the whole GMPP handling kit for like $300ish -if i remember correctly and it comes with sway bars, strut tower brace...

    the slp sway bars are nice, but for the price difference between those and the gmpp its almost not worth the minor upgrade from them. just something to think about.

    B&G would drop it a little lower than the SSC, but i wouldnt recommend the eibachs. i run them and they are fairly rough. its up to you on how you want your car anyway.

    thanks guys!

    and where can i find the GMPP kit i tried lookin for and found a bunch of random crap!

    Im looking for something stiff and firm but not 100% rock hard if that makes any sense!

    So it definitely looks like im going to look into B&G and SSC for springs.

    And if i was to go sepereate ways and piece the strut, sway bars.. which is better for buck to performance when it comes to the tower brace, the dual tubular or the single tube such as the 3800performance and or ZZP?

    I like the BMR's for strut tower braces. Im ordering them as soon as i get paid.
    as far as the sway bars, i cant really see spending $330 just for it to say SLP on it.

    and you can get the GMPP sway bars here- http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...=571&catid=138

    I mean really you cant beat the price for GMPP, front and rear sways for like $175. They both seem to be just about the same size

    Why not any go fast mods?

    Do you run your car in the winter while lowered. I have been meaning to lower my car but I worry about being a snow plow when it gets deep.

    sure do. its a snow plow. i just give it more gas and hope that i dont get stuck.

    being from wisconsin helps with knowing how to drive in the snow and knowing the limits of what your car can do, hah.
