Newb with suspension ??s Hello everyone...new guy here just purchased an 06 Imp ss and its like all of you im going to improve it as much as fits my desires and budget. First of all im wanting everyones opinion on the suspension as this car is kind of floaty....where would you start? im thinking strut tower braces first? who has them and what kind are they? i think i have seen something about poly bushings for the sway bars maybe, **** i dont know any help will be appreciated.

Neanderthal...i was thinking the same thing as i test drove a gxp first and i felt more like my old gp with agx/vogland setup but i couldnt workout a deal with that dealership. The gxps seem lower as well, would the whole stock setup work? probably pricey tho?
Nachoss..exatly what bushings? sway bar?

dont mean to highjack the thread but i just had my tranny rebuilt and got them to throw in the sway bar install for free.i upgraded to the addco front and rear sway bar with poly bushing and poly endlinks.after install noticed the stiffer and more responsive handling but noticed the squeaks more also ..is this normal?my car sounds like a squeaky bed on any little bump.

naioa.com shud get sum nice info there..
but as for handling and suspension u cant go wrong starting off with the kyb struts, lowering springs, STB's, shorter dog bones, poly motor mounts, poly bushings, sway bars or the gmpp handling kit.. there are wayyy more but those are the main ones im interested in but too broke to get lol

Are there any decent options for the GXP? Looks like the GMPP kit is only for the Impala. I have STB's and they helped but I want to do more. Lowering isn't an option for me either due to the Iowa weather. I barely have enough ground clearance as it is!
