Handling upgrades

[behvah78]

Just installed frond and back strut tower bars. Great noticable upgrade. What would be next other than lowering kits?

im gettin a few suspension/handling ups soo, i was lookin at the kyb gr-2 and i am almost completely sure that for the price they are the easy choice, but i was wondering about the gmpp handling upgrade, its Very inexpensive compared to buying the parts seperatly, and i obviously dont expect them to be as good as the seperate aftermarket more expensive parts, but does it have any major problems in anyones experience??

Sway bar sounds good. How long does it take to install both front and rear? and should I get one of these?:

Ive had the GMPP kit(Sways/Trailing arms/STB) on for over a year and im very happy with the kit except the way GMpartsdirect ships them ...I gave away the STB at modday last year because I had the Next Level STBs F/R...the kit didnt take away much from the ride and make's the car a bit flater thru the corners.The aftermarket bars (BMR/Speedbuilt or Next level or Rat if you can find them used) would really stiffen up the ride and if you have bad roads you will really feel the bumps.I would also recommend the GMPP Konis and I was one of the first to get the kit once GM released it back in the end of 2002 and it was by far the best thing I could have done for the ride........~Larry~

thanks a lot i was looking at that, but im too broke to really go beyond the 230 dollar replacement, speaking of bumpy roads, there are many in wisconsin around here, will the kybs bring a noticable ride improvement? how much so? keeping in mind im also buying the gmpp handling upgrade kit, and i donno how much it will stiffen up the car

Cant beat the kit from GMparts for about 150 to your door...it beats paying the big bucks for the other sways.
