    If you have anything smaller than the SLP rear swaybar then you did it wrong.

    I got a GMPP rear sway... Who wants it? Cause I want something bigger.

    Something I plan on trying next season at auto-x events is adjusting the rear toe-out to aid in rotation. It'll chew on the inside of the tires quite a bit, but as long as its reset before going back on the street it should be fine.

    Might get flammed by some other for directing you to another site but someone on Clubgp.com has a white coupe that he Auto-Xs quite often. If I remeber right hes got coilovers, huge sways, alum engine cradle at least the 12 inch brake up grade might be bigger dont remember. I cant wait to get home and get the speedbuilt sways AGX/Eibachs strut combo and new 18s. Just need to do brakes and from what Ive heard the ZZP lower control arms do wonders! Ohh the guys name one CGP is Chippy569. Guy knows his suspension. ClubGP Message Forum troubleshooting

    That thread shows nothing but him knowing what subframe is compatable with an '01 GTP.

    Maybe find a better thread to post...just sayin'.

    Also...If you AutoX your WBody, more power too you. IMO, they were tuned from the factory for "performance touring"...but not meant to go around cones like a Lotus. I'd love to try to AutoX my car...but I know it would probably kill the LCA's, braking/power steering system's...I've never done anything but push it hard in a straight line...so it probably would fall apart.

    really I see no serious enough of an advantage of the ZZP LCA's over stock ones with up graded bushings and balljoints

    So information from the site is worthless because its CGP give me a break! Haters gonna Hate Take a look at the CGP thread about the ZZP LCAs

    I agree with hellfish 100% so much could have been corrected with these LCAs such as fixing the geometry for lowered cars and adding the adjustability for caster and camber. However I still bet these would be a nice upgrade and other have said they help launches too.

    And unless the heim joints are 4340 they might break...

    They're supposed to be 3/4" but they're not... they're too small for the application.

    So 4340 is BETTER... and the sway bar links suck apparently.

    Link says they've giving out free upgraded ones...

    I'm willing to bet its because of this:

    http://oqcgp.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=54750

    Its so freaking funny you asked...couldnt have better timing!!

    The dam driver side subframe joint that is basically a big bolt that screws/threads into the tubular brace of the bar in order to make it adjustable FRIGGN SNAPPED IN HALF YESTERDAY!!! Thank God not on interstate!! I think this will be the first documented occasion of this happening...no others saying they have broke...it looks like rust was the contributor!!!

    I have pics but cant get them off my phone...im going to be sending ZZP a nice little email thats prepped and ready to go...Im demanding that they replace it for free since it failed and that those arms are their shining flagship product...they arent friggn cheap ya know!! thats complete bull *beep* if you as me...im pretty upset...had to have the car towed and everything!! just put a full tank of E85 in it too not even 30 min prior to it failing...felt like i ran over an elephant...it chewed up my tire too!!!
    lulz.

    Not the point: point is they dont do suspension... I doubt they even did an analysis to see how much stress it would have to withstand.

    If they did... then i'm even less impressed.
