So after 13 years of ownership I finally did everything I always dreamed of doing to my '95 GTS. I actually spent more money under the car than anywhere else. I got a full Griggs suspension. Now I have the familiar tubular A arms and K member up front, but also the less-familiar coilover rear setup with Panhard bar and torque arm.
I haven't taken it to a track since I had the mods done, but the difference in handling on the street is amazing. It's very apparent that the car's center of gravity has shifted down and to the rear, and of course the car doesn't plow anymore. One downside is that one of the mounting bolts for the torque arm bangs the passenger-side exhaust elbow. That may be because I upgraded to 2.5-inch exhaust.
I finally got a chance to get some pictures under the car when it was in the shop recently, so I thought I'd show them off. What you see here are the tubular front suspension, the adjustable Koni colover rear, the subframe connector, the Panhard bar, and a little more comprehensive view showing the torque arm under the driveshaft and the new trailing arms (the blue thing is part of the hydraulic lift suspending the car).
Looking back on the pictures, I should have gotten down closer to the floor to get a shot from a greater distance. Oh well.
