Hi guys, here's a couple pictures of my 2005 Sunfire, it has a Tein Basic coilover kit, '00-'02 Z24 Wheels with Falken Ziex ZE-502 tires, I also removed the rear window stoppers and the badges from the front doors.

Still have to adjust the rear a bit more, it's sitting a bit higher than I would like. My old GA GT in the background which now belongs to my dad, he also has a 40th Anniversary Edition Grand Prix and my mom has an '05 Grand Prix. I may also be buying a '98 GA GT. Never enough Pontiacs. :dancingpontiac:

The last generation Sunfire looks so crazy as a sedan to me! She looks really nice, though; clean, simple, well done. I have never seen those particular Z24 wheels on our generation Sunfire, either, but they look surprisingly nice. Is your emblem black or gray?

Welcome! Good looking Sunfire! Clean!

I LOVE the chrome Pontiac wheels on the GA, they always looked great.

Looks good! Welcome. Sadie (valid) and I saw one of those Sunfires in 2008 at the 25th Anniversary Fiero show. Bit rare for us to see a phase 3 Sunfire sedan in the states =P.

Welcome to FP.

I had no idea they made Sunfire sedans with the newer nose. I thought you did a swap before I saw the year.

Anything planned for it?

The GAGT...glad to see some still love those.

Thanks guys, the emblem actually is supposed to have a carbon fiber look to it, but unless you're within a couple feet of the car it just looks grey which is fine because I'm not a big fan of CF anyway. Havoc, those are also my favorite wheels on that generation of GA's.

I was just in the states a couples weeks ago or 10 days and was surprised at how few of them there were down there, I didn't see any sedans.

Welcome to FP.

Not too much, probably sway bars, an intake/exhaust and maybe a neon rear disk swap + better rotors and pads in the front.

They didn't actually manufacture them as sedans here in the states; the one Mark and I saw in '08 had come over from Ontario. I like them, though, but they weird me out because I'm not used to seeing them!

I have the AEM CAI, I like the sound and responsiveness. I haven't gotten to my exhaust setup yet, but that will happen likely later this year. I have begun gathering parts for a Neon rear disk swap as well. I also have sway bars that need to be installed. Haha. We sound like twins!

All in all, it sounds like you have a good plan for her. Very reasonable modifications for a daily driver, which is why I've picked mostly the same ones for my car, as well!

Never knew that...learn something new everyday, and great minds think alike. :lol2:

Sway bars won't be much help on the stock, rubbery springs.

Eibach springs on Tokico struts are a solid combo.

The stock rubbery springs aren't on the car anymore and yes they are I have a set of Eibach Sportlines in the garage and was ready to buy Tokico D-specs when I came across the coilovers for an alright price haha.

Yes and lol as I said in the first post I'm going to bring the back down a bit more but our roads around here suck, I think CAA actually voted my road the worst in the province but I'm not sure, but yeah it's not really practical to be much lower.

Of the 6 roads in the county that made the top 10, I live on one, my gf on another, another connects our roads, and another I travel several times a week. It sucks.

Oh my. I don't blame you for not being lower! I'd hold off on those sway bars until they hopefully get to work on some of your roads, too! :lol:

Welcome to the site. I'm a NOOB too. LOL Seems to be a great bunch around here.

Thanks, welcome to you too lol

Valid, the fire would be an antique before it got sway bars if I waited for them to fix the roads around here lol the road work around here is as bad as the roads themselves.
