hey everybody.... i have done numerous mods and did an engine swap and built transmisson.. My GTA has stock suspension... i was wondering should i worry about doin any upgrades to the suspension/chassis..... this is not a race car by any means.... just a nice daily driver...... i will be switching to afr heads and 1.6 rocker next summer.... look at my mods in my sig......

 

Lower control arms, torque arm, sway bars and frame connectors are all good mods that can be done in steps. Alot is going to depend on your budget and the type of driving that you do. Give me a call here at the office and we can go over what would benefit you the best.

 

i was reading and would a wonderbar and the tpi strut tower brace help any.... i think those will be my first two suspension/chassis mods....

 

I have Rancho in mine otherwise stock suspension. Your car looks like mine too.

 

What are you wanting from the car? Handling, straight line, or a combination? This will determine the details of what you need.

 

i want a combination of both worlds.....

 

I'd start with going through the suspension and replacing whatever bushings etc that've worn out over the years (just make sure you don't do it twice- ie, don't replace the rear control arm bushings if you are planning to buy tubular arms...). Then, you should reinforce the chassis with weld in SFCs and a wonder bar. You might want to consider a STB. I've heard everything from them being a great help to just being extra metal. I've not installed one yet, but I plan to. Then, you need to decide if you are planning to lower the car or not.
