Andrew Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 good pics! so how does she handle now? Quote
mra32 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 wait, you swapped your sway bar for a 95 lumina one? I'd assume your stock one was broken, but i didnt even know 95 lumina's had one and if so, i'd imagine they wouldnt be very 'sporty'. Quote
pwmin Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 no, its the rear. some 1.5G's had 7/8" rear swaybars. i thought they werent supposed to work Quote
ManicMechanic Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Apparently the Lumina bar is a bit bigger.......*ideas* Yann, beautiful work man...One suggestion, bigger exhaust tips, just the pipe by itself looks a little 'puny' in the big hole of the exhaust cut out in the bumper. Quote
Crazy K Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Ken just fought like mad to get a 94 DOHC rear swaybar. You mean I could do better???? DAMNIT! Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Awesome! Thats some nice work! But more importantly, hows she handle?! Quote

White93z34 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 i always thought they did not interchange, guess i know where my next suspension mod is coming from. Quote
GP1138 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Yann has found the super secret suspension mod!! Awesome. OT question though - do you use a translator for your posts here, or do you type the English yourself? Quote
xtremerevolution Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Do you have the 34mm front sway bar? Quote
RedGTP Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Posted August 23, 2007 Do you have the 34mm front sway bar? I have a stock front sway bar (FE3 package) OT question though - do you use a translator for your posts here, or do you type the English yourself? Yes :redface: I speak always french, and talking in english .. I alway shearch my words.. but I don't take always translator, only when a will make a 'good sentense' (now I don'T take a translator... bad... you see the difference .. lol) Thanks for the comments !

xtremerevolution Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Do you have the 34mm front sway bar? I have a stock front sway bar (FE3 package) Some cars with the FE3 package came with the 30mm or the 34mm sway bar. Quote
RedGTP Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Posted August 23, 2007 hoo .. i don't know which I have ... GTP 94 .. 30mm ... may-be 95-96 have a 34mm ??! .. I will check this Quote
ManicMechanic Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 You have a 3.4, so you have the 34mm, Yann. Quote
Brian P Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 In the road .. OMG , 'it's the day and the night'.. Quote
xtremerevolution Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 In the road .. OMG , 'it's the day and the night'.. I'm assuming he's referring to "the difference is like day and night" in how much better his car now handles. Having the same sway bars as he does with polyurethane bushings, I would tend to agree with him. Quote
RedGTP Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Posted August 23, 2007 yeah .. sorry it's a french expression :redface: it's totaly different with the OEM swaybar.. I don't know here a can buy a polyurethane bushings.. Quote
xtremerevolution Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 yeah .. sorry it's a french expression :redface: it's totaly different with the OEM swaybar.. I don't know here a can buy a polyurethane bushings.. Energy suspension sells them. You can get them at AutoZone. They're $20 for the pair. You might also be able to find them at a Pep Boys, but their stock of energy suspension bushings is usually very limited. Quote
RedGTP Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Posted August 24, 2007 oki .. I will check this during the storage ... I will buy some pieces for the next summer Quote
