as stated, whats is a good drop kit for the 2002 wide track GTP? my brother just installed 245/40zr/18 on his car.

these are the rims and tires

im going with ssc. 1.5 in drop all around. if you need a little bit more, eibach springs are the favorite when you want to be low, but not slammed. id suggest getting new struts with that. kyb agx are the main choice, but even gr2's do well.

also, next time get 245/45/18 tires. ur just making the wheel well uglier, and ur not really gaining much by running a lower profile tire. plus his speedo is a bit off.

So. This is the first summer I had the car - bone stock at the time.

Ugly headlights - check.

Ugly wheels - check.

By October next year I painted the grill outline. Never ending strugle to find the wheels I like ended with me deciding to snatch some pre 97 5 spokes. Lower offset looks great on 2nd gen w-body prixes. Also, little add-ons like inlays and a stealthy GPForums.net sticker. Ugly headlights still dominate.

But i finally grabbed a new set + black corners w/ clear reflector.

But theres still plenty to do... Ordering tires this week, suspension is going to be done soon (saturday maybe?).

AGX + SSC springs, WBS LCA's, BMR Trailing Arms, Moog Tie Rods, Moog End Links, SLP Swaybars i snatched from c-list and last but not least Speedbuilt STB's.

Also, got a little bit of a dent on rear quarter panel and the dreaded GM clear coat peel in the rear (both bumper and spoiler, probably the trunk lid as well). Also, 5 spokes will get painted gunmetal along with the lower facias. Will try to make the car super clean by mid-summer.

Whats in store? Probably C5/Fbody brakes to begin with late summer. It hit 155k miles and I plan on keeping it at least a couple more years.

Thanks for wasting your time reading and watching this.

Spoilerless is definately better. The car flows just so much better. Now i want to see it painted and with some nice wheels on.

UHP's are a bang for the buck when it comes to dry traction and price. The sidewall, however, is not very stiff.

There are Car and Driver videos reviewing lots of tires on Youtube if that helps you.

Very nice. Getting SSC's for my 01 as well. Every GP needs a drop

Thanks for the welcoming guys!

I always wanted a turbo gp... but jesus. mang... he makes me wanna puke.

this thread made me do this:

Great cars. Id love to get myself a GTO someday. More pics plz.

Wow! Considering the never-ending price drop on pretty much every car I see that is an achievement!

Id still suggest using some cleacoat, even so you can have the finish last a bit longer. But thats me lol.

Nice. Did you clearcoat them?

Need to paint my wheels as well...

As seen on GPforums. Passing the word along!
