Time to start thinking about some suspension work (struts, etc.) but I cannot seem to find anyone making urethane bushings for the control arms, etc for the GTPs. Does anybody know if these parts are out there?

If you're starting to work on your suspension, I would suggest a set of KYB's (they're inexpensive, under $300), the GMPP handling kit (~$110), and the chrome front strut support from ebay (~$28).
The GMPP handling kit comes with front and rear sway bars, tubular trailing arms, and a front strut tower support. Put the GMPP strut tower support on the rear, it will fit.

Handling will improve dramatically with this inexpensive set up.
Of course you can go with the GMPP strut/spring combo, but that'll cost a bit more than the KYB's.

Good Luck!
