Smooth Riding
I have a 97" Pontiac Grand Prix GT with 152,000 mile on it. I wanted to know how could I get my car to ride like it is brand new again. I really want to put brand new parts on the car, but I do not know where to start. Can someone help me?

Start with the basics - plugs, pcv, flush radiator, a GOOD engine restorer and oil change(cheap one will just burn up your car), cold air, new pumps can add a lot of lost power after a few years of neglect...

You should have the stuts replaced along with the bearing plates. While it is apart do control arm bushings and sway bar links in the front. be sure to do an alignment afterwards also. Hope this helps. BTW if you live near an Advance Auto Parts store, go with the Monroe SensaTrac Struts. Buy all four and get an 80 Dollar Mail In Rebate from Monroe. Great deal.

Re: Smooth Riding
I believe notladstyle was talking about how to get some of your lost power back

SNOW. I haven't seen that in a while. Is it still cold?
