I haven’t posted in a while and I was cleaning my computer up and came accross these…so here you go. This is my car just before the fall season. I miss driving it. ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/GA065.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/GA065.jpg) ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/GA066.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/GA066.jpg) I got some plans for this summer (For all you GM/GAGT Guru’s: SD Hood, Vette upgrade, Eibach or Sprint Springs, and possibly an SC/T Kit). I am also continuing to upgrade my audio and I hope it turns out as good as last time (Plug for Rainbow). ---

> [@newman](#): > > what, pray tell, is a vette upgrade? Let me prepare myself…for burns. The caliper bracket for a 98-02 F-Bod bolts up to the Grand Am knuckle where the stock bracket fits. A 97-04 Vette caliper bolts to the F-Bod Caliper bracket (No I would not use one that said CORVETTE). And finally a 00-05 Impala Rotor fits the hub for the GA. Thus, leaving me a 12 Inch Rotor with a two piston caliper that originally was a 11 Inch Rotor and a single piston caliper. Yes, this works. It has been [done](http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62144). However, This would leave the back more offset than GM had already made it. So the only thing I need to figure out is a way to upgrade the rear Caliper’s and still have the E-brake functional. ---

no need for rear upgrade…i know its a diffa car…but i changed my maxima from 11" fronts w/single piston to 12.6" fronts from a 350z w/4 piston calipers from a 300zx tt…didnt terribly change the bias and i tracked car…stock rears should be fine ---

So why did you pick a Grand Am? You’re talking about brakes, suspension, and forced induction upgrades. A Grand Am isn’t exactly a popular platform for performance modding. Are you going to do a spring/shock combo or full coilovers? ---
