meh....i wouldnt waste money on strut braces...get some bmr sways if u havent already. had them on my gtp, good investment

 

[firemandan1700]

Yea I havnt done anything in terms of suspension.
I still have factory suspension with 98k miles on them.

 

[Mook]

yea, screw strut braces

 

[Fish]

yea, screw strut braces

Thats all I have left to do. I had both on my old car and they made a small difference.

I wouldnt waste money on BMRs though. Buick STBs can be had from a dealership for $20. Sometimes less.

 

[Mook]

yea. i had a regular ol gm strut brace on the front. didnt notice a thing. sways make a world of difference. as does new struts, etc

 

[Fish]

If you only get one STB, put it in the rear. I felt that one more then the front.

If I were gonna buy STB's I'd just do the GM bars with Don Rome's brackets.

Out of all the suspension mods I've done, they still don't compare to the difference that adding a set of low-profile, stickier tires made to the car. There's no comparison. When I put the stock-sized tires back on, the car feels like a mess.

I bet!!! 6.5" wide tires look(and obviously perform) horrid on these cars. Bullitts are 8" aren't they?

I noticed a bit better response when I went to RS6s. However, I think the GMPP struts and springs > the 1" of extra tire.

I second that!!

What size rims and aspect ratio? Not all about tire width if you still have the stock minivan-sized tire wall.

 

[Fish]

7 inch rims. 245/45/17s

as everyone else said... best single thing is a set of low-pro high speed rated tires

HD sways and trailing arms

then if you dont do the buick 20 buck bars which are pretty good front and back.... otherwise as you know on my car i have bmr STB front and back and their sways front and back etc etc.. basically all the HD suspension stuff you can get on 3800performance site

but without a set of low-pro tires in W/Y/Z rating the car will still handle shitty... i have snow tires that dont even have a sideway rating lol, its awful

HD sways made a huge difference, I bought the ZZP strut tower bars, it was like 150ish for both with shipping, not a huge difference, but it feels slightly firmer when turning hard.....But that could be a mental thing though

 

[firemandan1700]

And the HD sways are available on zzp and 3800performance?

I am about to start work so I dont have the time yet to look.
