I have. It makes the car more stable. Less prone to dive when breaking and you can corner a lot better. I've got skinny 205/15's in front but I can take an overpass entrance ramp 60mph+
But then I also have solid bushings and a bunch of other stuff. You can tell how the car arcs through turns that the guldstrand mod helps a great deal... It's a free mod and modernizes otherwise poor geometry. Not hard to do and doesn't require any special parts. You can also choose to do it permanently or you can trim the arms and do it in such a way that you can revert back to stock. _I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

You lower the mounting point of the upper control arm. Not needed on the 2nd gen cars.
Works on the older A, F and X body with 2 piece spindles.

The dancer's name is Alizee' , a French Pop singer. The music is kinda of 80'ish/European. Well I think so anyway, mostly she's nice to look at,
 damn she can dance. lol There's an avi floating around the internet of her at a music awards performance wearing that little velvet sailor outfit. I ripped off my avatar from it (http://moi-alizee.com/) mmmmmmmm

I already did the mod but I changed a bunch of other stuff at the sme time so I won't be able to really tell what kind of effect it's going to have. Besides it's been about 6 years since I got to drive it so it'll be new all over again.

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.
