I personally have gotten my brakes and suspension from Dave over at F-Body Pro-touring.com. He is a very knowledgeable and helpful guy. That being said there are not a lot of aftermarket guys on this site so you would be better served asking for opinions at Protouring.com or NastyZ28 to name a few. This is not a simple question to answer and has probably been asked before so make sure you do a quick search on those sites.
GL, Chris

I have PTFB's GT kit in my car. Sits nicely, and handles great. Its firmer than stock, be aware of that.....so don't go for a stiffer shock or you'll get pounded driving down the road. lol.
Very good value for money.

I personally go for Ride Tech's package over most,,,, an excellent affordable 4 link setup in the rear and I like their strong arm design for F-body street/performance blended use... The Coil Over package is built under private label by Fox to Ride Tech's spec.... Just a really well rounded package in my mind that doesn't leave you wanting when you do decide to push the performance envelope as well...

Definitely give Dave at Pro-Touring F-body a call. He will take good care of you and help you get it right the first time. He went above and beyond helping me on my project, even going so far as to help answer questions that weren't even related to the parts I was buying from him. You're not going to get that kind of service in too many places. I have the Competition Suspension Kit and Complete Chassis Kit in my car and couldn't be happier with it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
