step 1. get the GMPP handling kit
step 2 Install the Koni'* and some lowering springs
OR the GP GXP springs/Struts
OR of your happy with the ride height go with the Intrigue/Impala rear springs to fix the *** sag that the GP'* always have
step 2 Install the Koni'* and some lowering springs
OR the GP GXP springs/Struts
OR of your happy with the ride height go with the Intrigue/Impala rear springs to fix the *** sag that the GP'* always have

The stock axles (halfshafts) are to long and hit the tulip going over bumps. This is also what breaks LSDs-but thats a different story

I think the bouncing is called pogoing, not sure if that is spelt right, but anyway there are anti-pogo washers you can get to take the bounce away.

Try the ZZP offset mounts, it MUCH cheaper that shortened axles. The mounts aren't the way to fix it IMHO, but they do the trick.
Shorted axles are going to be ~$250 or so, they are rebuilt/modified OEM axles. The swapped cars use these frequently, and is a necesity once they are lowered.
The pogo mod can be used front and rear...and they work great.
