What are you going to do with the car? My setup for example with the adjustable struts and the dropzone springs would give you a very harsh ride but is a good way to spend your money if you are autocrossing / tracking the car. If you want more comfort go with a non adjustable shock and eibach. It also depends on how much you would like to lower the car.

Get the AGXs, I have GR2s with eibachs. Not happy with em. Get a STB a lot of people rock the ebay ones, or u could get a solid 1 piece(what I did). sway bars ur gunna have to hunt down. There was a GB but it fell through.

Any that you can find... Or make some like I am, along with customized lateral links and trailing arms, and underbody bracing for the unibody.

Hey tunerkid, if you want to learn to drive and mod your car at the same time and find its limits, I suggest looking up your local racing clubs.
If you still insist on street racing, you are better off spending money on naked chick decals and saving the rest of your cash for when you get caught.

Strut bars, go to ebay and look up Grand Am strut bars, they'll work. I got mine for ~$75 Front and rear, I haven't put on rear ones but I did notice a difference with installing the front one.
As for street racing, this site does not condone it. To the people who read his comment at least he isn't posting his stories and bragging about it. Yes it is illegal and dangerous, but like cocaine it isn't going to stop people from doing it.

listen you can all talk shit all you want. i really don't care. ya i get shit for street racing but it's in my blood. i'm not all effing stupid about it and do it wherever and wheneevr i can. i go to closed down streets and shit. and thank you wrestlingandrunning. at least i'm not trying to say oh ya i'm bad ass cause i do this and this. and telling story's about it. most trouble i got in wasn't even racing. so i'll prefer to save my money for car parts. not for stupid bail cause i'm not stupid about it. but enough of that faggot bullshit shit talking from all ytou and let's talk car parts. if you want to talk shit go on myspace or facebook and tell them. or grow some balls and just comfront me about it. and chris2000 how id this a stupid thread?? asking some questions? someone asked how i drove so i told them. you think i'm stupid posting this thread? at least i'm not the one who goes around talking shit on threads instead of cars. seems to me like you don't even like cars and just like talking cyber shit nuhhh???
and once again (already got bitched out for the springs!!!! can you read faggg???)
anyyywaysssssssssssssssssss. will any grand am strut bars fit???

you shouldn't throw a tantrum when someone tells you you broke a rule, the sites policy does forbid discussion of street racing.

i used to street race but i smartened up because it is dangerous and stupid if you want to race take it to a track. you can lose ur lisence for a very long time if you get caught street racing. i think that you should look at sprint springs.

wrestlingandrunning just told you that GA bars will fit, why do you need to ask again?
Some advice for your future on this site. I am not trying to threaten you but there are lots of things you can do to make it better on yourself and the rest of us here. Please do not mention street racing again, you are free to do whatever you want but we do not want to hear a single word about it. This is not a honda forum full of invincible 16 year olds. Many of us are 25 or older and get offended by such recklessness. Second please clean up your posts, I am not talking about content but about grammar and capitalization, to me reading sentence after sentence without the lead word capitalized gives me a headache. Lastly don't bash established members here who are only trying to help you or state their opinion. Remember if you are offended by someone disagreeing with you the best way is to respectfully argue without name calling. That just makes you look like am immature and inarticulate person. (see honda forum reference above.) Welcome and please help us keep this forum a place everyone enjoys.

Calm down kid... you seem like a bad ass so i wont talk any shit  Plus i've grown up; something you need to do ASAP. Street racing is in your blood? Are you related to Dominic from the Fast & the Furious? Hows the RX-7 running? Does he still have the Supra?  It seems to me that you read the posts making fun of you better than you did the ones that helped you. Grand Am bars will fit....READ. Yes, you need to fix your grammar too... you say your not stupid but your grammar isn't helping your case any. You and Alerodrime need to meet up ASAP....you both have a lot in common

I would be more than happy to confront you about it! I'll even bring my police friend with a picture book of kids just like you who think they are hot stuff, and what they looked like after their last street race experience! Pretty sure one of my good friends is in that book, and she wasn't even racing!!!
anyways, please don't talk about street racing. A few members on here have had people lost due to them. Save it for the Honda Forums...

eff yea man! i think tunerkid was the guy in the ferrari when they raced. Thinkin hes the shit with his stock ferrari.....then he gets blown away. Thats why hes so bitter!  or maybe he was the guy who raced doms girl at the track...."another ones bites the dust......" then he gets blown away by a chick....that makes a little more sense
OOOORRRRRR maybe he was Jessie....thinking he could beat an S2000 with over 100k into it.... but....your not as smart as that guy....
I can keep going.... i mean, street racing is in your blood man! You must have creamed your pants when you saw the fast and the furious. your sittin in the theatre sayin "THATS ME PEOPLE! THATS MEEEEEEEEE!" LMFAO
