A Drilled / Slotted rotor kit with red calipers would be SLAMMIN !!!

And i still think lowering would be amazing !! The more i look @ it the more i like the painted .. chrome would still be wicked.

Good job man, your car is one to be looked up to!

I like the non chrome look on this one, looks good with the paint, but lowering springs are a MUST with this car, palsut ill honestly if you had lowering springs, it would be one of the best ive seen on the web.

Palsut (sorry about the spelling)lowering your car 1 1/2 to 2" should'nt bother your trans. just get the right struts (AGX's) and you'll be fine ,I've been lowered for 4 years without a problem I do use pogo washers and offset poly upper mounts though ,

I'm planning to get F-body brake set up and big rotor next year. I'm not sure it will look good on red calipers? My color theme is silver/black. I'm thinking silver or black calipers.

I like chrome wheel but silver paint wheel look hot. It is almost 100% perfect match on my car paint.

Chico: No problem. Just joking about my wrong name spelling.

That's good to know. I guess someone might drive too hard cause tranmission break or something. I will try to get my car lower next year. It will take time to save some money. I'm going to get AGX too. This year will be my appearance body work and interior work.

I'm thinking leave black center cap alone. I know my Pontiac center cap is not fit. After look that pictures that it look not that bad than what I thought.

I'm will start lower thing next year. So I will make list to start.

So what product(s) I need?

KYB AGX adjustable struts. Do I need add strut mounts plate from this site?

SSC Lowering Springs
https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=454&catid=138

Do I miss everything else?

well if your rear struts are as bad as you say, than you may want to start to lower it sooner.

Nice Palsut, I do like the wheels. I like how it doesn't scream aftermarket but more like maybe its some sort of special edition grand prix.
