Default Grand Am Chassis Build Front Coil Over Set Up

A few more views of the frame. Global West long travel coil over set up being welded in place. All of the suspension mounting points have been reinforced with welded brackets. The entire frame weld points from the factory were re-welded as well. All the corners were fitted with welded plates. This is a heavy car, and my intention is to autocross and track day the car for fun. So I felt it was necessary to do all of this short of investing into a custom frame which was not in my budget. This car is a street car, so I'm keeping these upgrades realistic. The frame was then sent out for powdercoat.
