I havent made up my mind yet on the transmission. So true on suspension and brakes, all my past projects had killer motors , but scared the crap out of you if you went over 60. I figured the car runs fine ill do everything else than worry about the motor.

Back at the suspension again, after lowering with the coilovers there wasn't enough travel , so this past weekend i raised the coilovers 1 inch and installed some 2 inch drop coils,

They make drop springs for those? I was told they didn't exist. What spring rate are they? :confused:
I was running those Vikings with a 550 rate spring but they were too tall. My drop spindles were the only thing that lowered the front...

Finally had a little time to work on the grand prix this weekend. The last few months have been busy at work , so the only thing i could do was daydream about stuff i want to do.
Its only a start and not completed, still have alot of work to make it perfect , but youll get the idea. Excuse the weld it was my first time .

No, there not factory , yes there aftermarket, sometimes my mind just doesn't register things right, lol i was thinking aftermarket (performance) not reproduction.
