dav305z Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi all. I have a 2000 GTP with KYB struts and Vogtland springs. I'm trying to stiffen up the body a bit and one suggestion I got was solid or poly subframe bushings. Does anyone make some that fit our car? Has anyone tried them? More generally, what are some ways to stiffen up the structure, especially in front? I've already done the obvious, with a strut tower brace.

slick Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Sway bar, strut tower bar, shocks, struts, polyurethane bushings, new ball joints and tie-rod ends will help some. I guess, what areyou trying to achieve. A good daily driver, or an all out road handling machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav305z Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Something in between a dd and road racer, I guess. I've already done struts plus GMPP front and rear sway bar + trailing arms and stbs (front is on, back ready for install) and am sort of casting about for a next step. Most people say I should go up to 17 or eighteen inch wheels, but I'm concerned the added unsprung weight will totally destroy my ride (I have to deal with Michigan roads). I'm probably going to get some W-body store control arms and some new tie rods (I think one of my inners is bent anyway), so we'll see where that gets me.

dav305z Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'm actually having trouble finding ANY subframe bushings for my GP. Rockauto doesn't seem to list any. Where can I find a replacement, even if I want to stay with rubber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call you local parts guy and ask for all new FE3 bushings... or in your case the heavy duty suspension might be F41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
