Picking Mine Up Here Soon

Hey guys, im from many different forums mainly J-body forums(jspeed.ca), decided id trade my 2001 GA GT in and pick up one these pups, just wondering where i could look for some performance parts(suspension needs to be lowered badly) i ahve to be ready for SCN in calgary may 6th,2006, but yah just shoot some ideas at me and maybe give me a link to your ride,

my main mods i want are

Exhaust(will get in town here)(own)
CAI(own)
Headers(still looking)
Lowered(1.2 and 1.5)(ordered)
Vinyl Kit(coming with car)
Underglow(own)
Tint
Stereo(already have most of the stuff)
Racing buckets(ordered)
if you could put some prices in CDN funds for me that woudl be great lol



i know theres a thign called google but i have no real time in my life

Pricing things out is hard cause shipping, duty and excahnge always make it more exspensive for us Canadians to get aftermarket stuff.

Are you getting 5 speed or auto? My wife has an 00 GAGT and my 5 speed 2.4L can take it---although it is close. Plus it handles and rides better.

What colour?

haha.. burn.
for some reason i was thinking trans am gt, wtf? then i relized it wasnt a j body... lol.
I'm not a fan of lowering, just not worth it when you have a world of speed bumps...
I would say try a turbo if your class allows it, should sound nice!
