        Yea the car is so damn high off the ground, especially with the 18s. Lowering springs would be the first to go on.

          Yeah. The GTP has a higher center of gravity because the of 18s and same height sidewalls of the 17's. You'd think that the GTP would have a lower suspension setup? Nope. Damn GM
          Not a G6 owner... yet.

              I hate how the Coupe handles...Icomapre it to driving a cinder block with a pogo stick at each corner with 600 B series rocket motors duct taped to teh back.

                ^ haha. I really don't mind the handling. I'm not doing auto-crossing or anything like that. I just want it lower.

                    I agree, my GPs stock suspension felt better in the twisties... Not to mention the upgrades I did!

                      See I don't know, my GT screams around corners and I haven't had any problems. Maybe I'll try pushin it a little more and see what happens.

                        It holds, but it leans while doing so!

                          GAWD does it lean! I haven't spunthe rear out..but if you take corner good and hard at a real high speed.. lets say 60mph in to a nice sized heavy u-turn, it nose dives like a hooker for 20.00 and damn near just slides righ tinto the corner... pretty crappy. I think upgrading these tires to something sticky would be a BIG benefit as the stock tires SUCK!
