Ok so I just ordered ST Bars from GM Parts Direct, and I hope they arrive before next month, Also I've got a set of STB Brackets from Don on the way and I plan on getting a GMPP handling kit next week and some 245/w.e./16 tires when I have the money along with Comp G struts and lowerng springs, so my question antially is, What else can I do? I know most people want MORE POWER!!! but I like playing in the twisties cause honestly, any idiot can drive in a relatively straight line

You should see a big improvement on how well your cars handles with all those upgrades. The only other thing you can do is to get poly bushings, but a lot of members don't like them because they squeak.

i got squeaks already from my LCA bushings (BTW better replace those while im at it) also I thing new tie-rod ends and balljoints should be in order as well as the RH wheel bearing and LH axle since i replaced the rh axle and lh wheel bearing not to long ago, and of course poly bushings and everything to rebuild the strut bearing stuff nd anti-pogo washers along with brakes (not sure yet there tho....), another question is, is there any type of longer stud i could put in the strut cap to make up the extra height of your brackets?

ok i gotta ask about GXP brake setup, and about the WBS RRControl Arm, and thanks for reminding me of braided brake lines, and the ARP wheel studs seem like a good idea if they are any improvement over stock, but all in all, excluding the bullits, how much do you have in suspension?

_________________

also would poly/solid engine and tranny mounts help with all this by any chance?

_________________

Parts or $$$?

I'm running pretty much the debatable best of everything suspension wise available for our cars.

THe brakes are straight froma 06 Gp GXP to include the pedal from the car as well.

The WBS RRCAs are not available any longer but look for tubliar ones very soon from them.

You should have plenty of threads on the strut mount studs to attach the brackets. They are only 1/4" thick so you will be able to tighten the nuts down securely.

I don't even keep a car that long, I usually get something different in a couple years. I've had my GP for 2 1/2 years now, and unless I find a good deal on a G8 GT, I might just keep it until it's paid off. This is the best car I ever owned, the only thing I had to was replace the brakes and it has 80K miles.

Good luck take off the sticker from the STB. I found a hair drier to be very useful.

Why have more money than brains? Cuz RACE CAR :

WD-40 loosens the adhesive on the stickers and they come off so easily with an ice scraper or a plastic putty knife.

Well try both methods, mine is obviously the the cheapest unless you don't own a hair drier. It should just peel away easy once you apply enough heat.

Still apply the WD40. It will keep the sticker or glue from attaching to anything else.
