    Hey guys....new to this forum, but just recently acquired a 2007 base GrandPrix w/ 56K+ and looking to lower the car a tad (1.5"frt/1.7"rear). Put 19" Rodericks on w/235.40.19 Conti's and there is still a bit too much gap for my taste. Not looking to slam the car though. Eibach doesn't make a spring set for this model.....any direction?

    Personally...I would do B&G Springs. That should do the trick

    look in the general tech section for a "safely modding your 3800 car" thread and start reading befor you buy or think about mods.
