:yumyum:ill take some of your stuff
Birch box, larger alt and ditch a batt or two, replace front batt to distribute weight better. And this problem seems to be solved.

There are a couple companies out there that make custom shocks and struts. I had them priced a few years ago and they weren't too expensive (can't remeber the name of the company now).

Go to a Prix forum and ask them.
When I had planned to do my old 18w6 setup i bought new prothane irs isolators. It gave me a solid 3/4" in back which was all i needed to level her out. I was already lowered though. They gotta make something similiar for yours.
Just go to a forum, they'll know best.
P.s. For god sakes DO NOT buy those metal clamp doohickies that say they can raise and lower coil springs.

I knew a guy that auto crossed his 98 GTP grand prix. He had Koni struts and lowered. You can get custom strings made to handle your car's weight. If you can get it on some scales so you can get the individual corner weights it helps alot. eibach might can help with the springs. they have calculators to figure the proper spring rate to support the weight. You may have to upgrade your struts to handle the extra strength of the springs.

I put Firestone Ride-Rite helper air bags in my Honda Pilot but I doubt anyone makes a kit for a Grand Prix.

Air struts is about the only way to help the ride without having to weld stuff on. You'll need the struts, a 5 gallon air tank, varible pressure transducer, 40 amp relay, two SMC 3/8 valves, 40 feet of 3/8 air hose, and some misc air fittings.
This is how my Jeep is setup.

If you're in that realm of woofers, there's quite a good selection outside of those 2, but DD is a very good pick IMO.
