Re: GLX Overhaul, My Opinion

["Nathan" <etherwolf@sopris.net>]

Makin' out okay with Bilstein Sports, H&R Sports, Eurosport slotted (11.3") rotors, Ferodo pads
(VERY dusty, very good tho), Velocity SS brake lines, Garrett chip, Velocity plug wires, Neuspeed
front stress bar, Eurosport rear stress bar, K&N (duh), slightly modded airbox, factory 15's.

Haven't gotten sway bars yet or Turn2 motor stuffs (soon). Also looking to do the Velocity flywheel
and a nicer clutch this summer.

I would recommend all of the above, except those dusty pads which keep my wheels very black, and the
Neuspeed front stress bar. I would have picked up one that encircles the whole strut cap if I had it
to do again.

Subject: GLX Overhaul, My Opinion


I have a 96 GLX as well. This is what I have on mine. I am very happy with
all mods and would recomend them to anyone with a VR6. (I'm not a fan of the
4cyl.what a waste).

Neuspeed Soft Sport - 1 1/2 inch drop (2 inches is too much)

Boge Turbo Gas struts - Only becouse I feel Billsteens are Sooo expensive,
but if          you have the duckets..........

Eurosport Strut Tower Support - You need one trust me, you could go with
Neuspeed, there O.K. but I like Eurosport

Turn 2 - Motor mount and bushings

Front and Rear lower sway bars.

I run factory 15's on my car, 16's tend to suck what little low end torque
the VR6 has to offer.

It seems like your car will look Phat, sound great, be very fast, and Stop on
a dime.............., but you'll be all over the place if you do not have a
suspention to keep it grounded.

Let me know how you make out...
