Carotop Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Yea I noticed alot of stuff was expensive or SOLD INSTALLED ONLY. But they do have a good selection of stuff. Do you know of any other places like them that have better stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carotop Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Well I guess those websites are the only aftermarket that I could find. Well since everyone seems to not like any of these companies what would you say is the best overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 well, if you want aftermarket, get another car. there isn't much out there, and it looks like lots of us have had bad experiences with those companies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carotop Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Well I'm pretty sure I can always go custom. But for now I just wanna throw a bunch into this engine or just save money and buy a 3800 SC which is prolly what I was gonna do anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carotop Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Well actually most businesses that are even somewhat successful deal business like that. Ok since aftermarket isn't all that big, does anyone know of any magazine articles or project cars, either on a cutlass or on the 3.1?

Canada Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I've done busniess with RSM Racing. Great company. For some reason they have a bad name here...........mostly because of Ben. At least they aren't Mantapart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carotop Posted November 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Well I'm prolly gonna go through them for mostly suspension things and a couple of performance things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 As for suspension, go to FFP. He deals FIRST HAND with W-bodies, has owned more than a couple, and sells quality parts at good pricing, without 6 week shipping from Canada.

He deals FIRST HAND with W-bodies, has owned more than a couple, and sells quality parts at good pricing, without 6 week shipping from Canada. why FFP?...i am lookin at their site right now and don't really see much for suspension?...no strut tower braces, swaybars...NOTHING!?...am i missing something...all i see @ FFP are underdrive pulley's, coil-over's, and a billet motor mount...WTF?!...

Carotop Posted November 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 They got the same coil-overs at RSM. And actually I really don't mind waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 They got the same coil-overs at RSM. And actually I really don't mind waiting. not true RSM has some $$$ Front Lowering Springs and some instructions on how to "Safely" Lower the rear using the existing leaf spring. FFP has a real rear coil-over for the W's mix that with the Suspension Tech's Front Lowering Springs or wait for the FFP coil-overs for ther front in the near future.... thats the way to lower a W-Body!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough Said Go to RSM Racing for there STB Bars but expect a wait for them to be made per order..... A rear Swaybar buy the ADDCO one for the W-Body for a bigger front sway bar try to find a 34mm Z34 Bar and you will need the bigger bushings as well. as far as Shocks and Struts go.... KYB is the best for the buck.....but avoid Gabriel brand they suck. there is your best w-body suspension set-up IMO how much lower will that setup make the car?...i'm just kinda curious as i wanna lower my cutty just a slight amount to reduce wheel well gap...

Canada Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I don't know, between their $160 hot air intake, and 6 week shipping, they just got a bad name. I recieved my $180 WAI (which did make 4.5 whp over stock and 3.5 whp over a K&N drop-in) in 3 days......................I live in Iowa..............apparently they have turned to sucky since I dealt with them.
