    Ok so I have made a list and checked it twice to see what mods would be nice.. Ok sorry just a lil bored. I actually did make a long list of mods I would like to upgrade on my GTP I just wanted to see if you guys have any recommendation. I know I can find some of the parts in Jy, ebay or other places just want some more input from ppl here too. I have looked at a lot of websites and found the lowest prices and that’s the one I have here list. I know there is a “search bar”, I know there is a "brake upgrade" thread, I know there is a “suspension upgrade” thread (that where I got a lot of the info here) I just want some more input on what you guys think might be good, bad or better parts.

    I would have to agree. You might want to consider at getting the front dorman sway bar and pairing it with a GMPP rear bar or GMPP all the way around to save yourself some money. Check rockauto for replacement parts. They offer better prices than summit. Another option for dual piston brakes is a set from an 06+ monte carlo/impala.

    Holy crap 1200 bucks for new springs and struts. You can buy those seperate and save yourself over 300 bucks.

    If thats your plan, do AGX's with SSC springs with new mounts. A rough guess at price is 800-900 bucks if you buy the stuff and put it together yourself.

    I also bet you could hit up a parts store get the full F-body upgrade for cheaper than 450 bucks.

    Canuck Motorsports makes SSC springs, I got mine cheaper through them, than from ZZP.

    Just so you are aware, they will drop the car more in the front right away than the rear because of the fact that these springs take a long time to fully settle. I've had mine on since May of this year and I figure I have many more months before I will get the drop that they advertise.
