got my suspension today

yeah!! my project is very near the building stages. i recieved my gsl-se suspension today, and i located some 5zigen's for 400 bucks, all four. i also found some gsl-se gold bbs's for 175 all four, but they are 14's. i dont know what to get. i love the bbs look, but they are so small. but then again, i could lower it alittle more with those and they might look ok. oh well, decissions decission. all im waiting on now is for my semester to end, and for my wolf 3d. thanks. ill keep it updated. i plan on keeping a very detailed photo log of the swap to maybe help some guys out. ill photo log the suspension swap as well as the t2 swap. thanks.

count me in as #234234234 doing a gsl-se swap suspension that is.. i was to do an 89+ motor with a street port though...

this has probably been answered.. but if i go ahead and buy springs and shocks for my car.. (85 gs) will they be interchangable with the gsl-se suspension?

14s with low profile will get the car into the weeds and it will look cool as hell,

But....

the rear suspension will bind up if you go that low.

to do it you will need a panhard bar setup in the rear and RB front lowering kit to mantain suspension travel.
