96 Grand Prix 1st Gen. New to Grand Prix Forums

[afeenaughty]

This is my 96 Grand Prix 4 door Family car! I purchased this car for 1500 and was completely stock when I got it. New 3.1 with approx 61k on it currently.
Any questions feel free to ask!

Car is a work in progress, I dont see myself ever being done with it. I personally love these cars, and I would love to see where I will be when I am done, but I cant see it currently. I hope everyone likes it a little :-) I really enjoy this car, pretty quick and can carry the family when I need to!

Please, let me know what you guys think!

welcome! i have a first gen as well.
why do you have such big tires on there? lol

hi. make sure to check w-body.com since majority of 1st gen owners tend to go there for technical info (its lacking here...).

nice fitment btw.

The Iroc wheels were taken off of a 87 S10 my neighbor had, he put hoosier slicks on with a v8 swap. I had to custom fit them, but I have always loved the looks of the iroc wheels, especially these ones. The tires themselves are ones I had on previously which fit on the rims. I will be going to a lower profile tire soon as I plan on dropping it an inch or so :-) And I read someone else talking about w-body so I have registered there as well. However there forums are really sloppy, but they do seem to have technical information.

Welcome! Where are you located in the southern tier? I commonly frequent the area.

[afeenaughty]

Located in the wellsville/olean area! :-)

[Odi]

why lower profile tires if youre dropping? seems counter productive, there will be wheel gap.

[afeenaughty]

The ones I have currently rub a little, I dont want to go to super low profiles, just ones a tad smaller :-)

[ctracer]

what are on there now?
it would look good dropped an inch.

Oh cool...haven't been out that way in awhile. I know the Elmira/Corning area fairly well though. My build is taking place in PA just across the border for Nichols, NY.

205/70/15's on it currently. Maybe in the next few days ill drop it a little and see where it sits. I will have to address some of the wheel well issues which shouldnt be too big of an issue. I know right where Nichols is. About 2 hours from me :-)

Yall know of a good set of struts I can use in the rear to drop it an inch or so? I dont have springs in the rear, only struts with the leaf spring across. Hate that thing lol.
