Struts and lowering springs installed!

Turns out I didn't even need camber bolts (and the bolts I ordered didn't fit anyway...)! But my TOW was horridly off so they fixed that... Added a few new bolts and things like that, but overall, it's very noticeable when you stand next to my car or when you look at the tires. It's a little hard to tell that it's lowered from a distance tho... pics coming in a sec!!!

And wow does it ride nice!

Well I'd say thats a "few" pics

Looks Good !

So does it drive different or better ?

It was a small drop, first looking at the lowerd pics I could hardly tell it was even lowerd.
But after seeing you measurement pics, it did lower about 2"

I 'd like lower tho, thats where adjustable struts would come in handy

Since I didnt loose my ass in Vegas, I might do some other mod to the SE,
but right now I think I hav a broken CV joint or half shaft

Been doing alot of 1/4mile runs.... Not what I expected but stil good for a GA SE

The best 1/4 was 13.41 @ 107-108mph, its hard to tell tho with out a radar and all.
I do think lowering the car will make it faster. Just because it would reduce drag .

Looking good man. Haha... Let us know bout the performance factor of the lowering!

Vipey1337 · #12 10-15-2006, 02:17 PM

Definitely drives better

I'll post mods later, lot to do again!

xeroinfinity · #13 10-15-2006, 03:10 PM

Glad to here its riding good Vipey !
Thanx for all those lovly pics

I'm still looking for some adjustable struts before I go and drop either GA.

Heres a photoshop of the GT lowerd, dont look to bad.

Vipey1337 · #14 10-15-2006, 10:20 PM

grand ams are hard to see if they're lowered unless you check the wheel well

xeroinfinity · #15 10-15-2006, 10:34 PM

if I lower mine you will be able to tell

I'd like to drop it to get the tire up inside the fenders.
Cut the fenders wells out ........ sounds good anyway

Been looking at some kits to rid myself of door handles

GTP Dad gave me the idea a while back.

It Wouldnt be to hard installing it all , just welding up the doorhandle holes and not messing up all the door paint

I do hav a couple junk doors I could practice on first..... thats always a good idea, practice on junk

haha you guys like my Halloween sig ?
