suspension upgrades

just curious to see if anyone has upgraded their suspension and to see what they have done. I have a '00 LS with 131k and the lower control arm bushings are gone. I also ran over a paint can that fell off a truck and bent a trailing arm. I'm thinking about stepping up to the GMPP stuff but can't decide if it will be that much better. any insight???

Re: suspension upgrades

Normally trailing arms are beefed up to prevent "axle wrap-up" on rear drive vehicles, not sure how much beefed up trailing arms will help your front drive car.

Re: suspension upgrades

I know what you mean but for some odd reason gmpp offers a tubular trailing arm that is supposedly lighter and stronger than factory u-channel arms. If I'm not mistaking its the same trailing arms that are on police models.
