Well I am just about done with this winters mods

87 Trans Am GTA Near Complete.
Drove the car for the first time in over a month on Saturday. So far so good. It goes in for an alignment tomorrow and its complete.

Here is the break down for what was done.

Suspension:
Eibach Sportline Spring
Bilstein Shocks and Struts
Spohn Adjustable PanHard Rod
Spohn Adjustable Torque Arm
Spohn T-56 Crossmember w/ loop and t/a relocation
Suspension Techniques Solid, Front and Rear Sway Bars
New Control arm bushings
New Ball Joints
New Tie Rods
New Endlinks all around
Refinished GTA wheels, Black Crosslace
Sumitomo HTR+ 245/50/16


Brakes:
1LE Upgrade All around
Russell Speed Bleeders
Earls braided steel lines

Drivetrain:
Rebuilt Tranny
3" Aluminum LS1 Driveshaft

I will post pics as soon as I get the car all set tomorrow. Likely have pics up by the weeks end. Once I get to drive it a bit, I will gladly give feedback on the modifications I have performed.

What a great feeling to do it all on my own....

I'm just finishing the same upgrades. Started redoing the suspension billstein, prokit, poly bushing, 36mm bar, etc...etc..

Ended up doing the 1LE brakes all the way around and converted to serpentine belts. I should have the serpentine setup done by next weekend & ready to drive.

Can't wait. Sweet!
