I'm just going to ask a noobish question, but buying a handling kit (such as the GMPP one listed above) would that decrease the body roll when turning at higher speeds ? and what other benefits would you get out of it?

The Ebay ones are crap. the tubing isn't large enough, and its a cheap filter.

struts got replaced last year

the gmpp kit is what i linked to above right?

just want to make sure im looking at the right package here

Yes, sorry I didn't click link.
It looks like you've got a good start on your suspension. The GMPP handling kit is just about the best bang for your buck that you can get. You'll notice an improvement right away. It'll feel like you're riding on a rail.

At some time I would also suggest putting brakes on your list. Drilled/slotted disk work great, again a noticeable difference, and they can be gotten for pretty cheap on ebay.

she needs pads any way i might have this done off the bat.

any suggestions on brands to look for in rotors and brakes?

R1 concepts on Ebay, Hawk performance ceramics.

just out of curiosity while we are on the subject.

has anyone just enclosed thier airbox completely and ran a tube down to the catfish mouth on the bottom to make ram air? seems like there is plenty of room for a system like this. even if its not true ram air it would be breathing the coldest air possible....

There's an intake set up even easier. It's called a FWI or Fender Well Intake. Basically it places the filter inside the fender between the splash guard and the fender. The tubing goes through the hole by the PCM. It's the coldest air possible with the shortest run possible.

I haven't seen any dyno runs to compare a FWI with a standard CAI so... The only downside to the FWI is sucking in water but as long as you don't try to ford flooded roads where water is above the "chin" you'd be fine.

hey umm i actually have one so idk what yer talking about and its fine for me ... u cant even the the HP diff. anyway so why put 300$ into K&N anyway ... so maybe u got a bad one but mine is great and produces a sweet noise ...also depends who you buy from bud

My open cone set up cost me about $70. Majority of the cost was the K&N filter. The rest was from Home Depot. Works perfectly well for me.

PowerSlot slotted rotors, Cryo treated and Hawk HPS pads, all 4 corners to maintain stock brake bias.

I had a fender well intake on a previous car and it was always soaked when it rained....

I think I will pass on that..

I will be doing a K&N cone though. maybe just leave it enclosed like a normal CAI home depot style and run a pipe in to open wind down below to pipe some cold air up that way

I have a CAI on the blazer and did not notice anything until I put a shield around it to keep it in a cool area. I got average 2mpg better around town.... when you are at 17mpg thats very exciting. lol

Autozone C Max Gold brake pads are awesome. Much better than the Hawks, I think.

No need to run tubing down if you leave the "box" open to the cutout in the fender. Plenty of cold air is pulled in through there and past the headlight.

I got R1 rotors and Hawk pads... someone else recently had asked a question about brakes in another thread and I gave them a link to a guy on club gp that was selling some D/S rotors and pads for like $160, brand new. Can't find the thread right now.

Yeah just go CAI home made, unless you wanna shout out the money like I did and get a K&N set-up. I just ordered a GMPP set-up and actually just got it in today, will have that on in the next 2 weeks. So i'll let you know how I feel about that.
