When I 2003 received my WS-6 Trans Am I was I seven heaven, for sure.
I have always loved Pontiac Firebird Trans Am model. Have owned one 1971-455HO 4speed between 83-98, once I saw pictures on the new Trans Am I new I need to have one! After a while I discovered then, if I want to compare the handling with Europe’s finest I need to upgrade my American muscle machine.

So my upgrade list contain:

KONI SA shock
BMR spring
LCA G2 adjustable
PHB G2 adjustable
A-arm up/lower G2 adjustable
Swaybars Sam Strano
SFC UMI
STB BMR
Battery relocated to trunk
18x9, 5 wheels

Now I’m really satisfied with how my car responding, I can really catch up with some fancy Euro crap once road getting twisted

Impressive. You are one of the few who has the G2 upper and lower A-arms. I wish I wasn't so cheap a few yrs back and bought a set. They're worth their weight in automotive gold in my book.

I also have those shocks and they alone made a huge difference for handling!
