Man that transformed the looks of the malibu. Good to see you back posting salem 👍🏻👍🏻
That escalated quickly 😂.
I will say that she looks good 👍. Nice work! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I imagine a pretty easy and relatively inexpensive way to deal with the understeer is by playing with the anti-roll bars. I imagine you can start with just disconnecting one or the other and seeing if you like the new driving balance, then get a stiffer bar for the one that improves it (I believe it is likely the rear sway bar you would want to beef up, but it's been a while since I've looked into them). Disconnecting a sway bar is definitely something you want to be careful with mechanically (make sure it won't hit anything as the steering and suspension moves) and driving-wise.
I like the height it has now! Tasteful lowering and wheels!
The only issue with these n body cars though is that currently noone makes any sway bar upgrades for them. Got to figure that out
Hmm... Well a single sway bar delete is still on the table, especially if the new suspension takes a good chunk of the body roll out on its own. It would definitely reintroduce some body roll, but who knows, maybe it will work well! Could be awful, too, but "Can Removing A Sway Bar Improve Cornering?" sounds like a pretty clickable video topic!
Good point...
Awesome video and transformation! Definitely makes a huge difference!
Your headliner looks like mine. Shitty. The wheels look great,and the ride height will settle.👍
"nose heavy" That is the exact impression that I get from these cars.
Looks sportier. You doing great as usual
Thanks
Love the new look! How about that headliner? Lol!
Its on the list
I had a 2000 Grand Am GT. After trading it for a 2002 Grand Prix GTP, I was astonished at how much less understeer there was. Heavy understeer seems to be a N body thing. Hope you can solve, or least reduce it. I would have chosen 16" wheels, but I really like the simple design.
Yeah i am a sucker for a good simple 5 spoke
Those wheels look great! Any recommendations for a 98 with the massive center bore? Looking to get these Impala style 5-spokes gone.
These wheels would fit, but they are a bit heavy. I got them from wheelhero.com. and they had tons of options
Thank you for bringing us all this content. I got a suspension question. I will have to replace the struts on my 98 gtp as its getting bouncy and my 05 impala ss as it has original struts and springs. I want to keep it simple and low cost so no coilovers or lowering springs/axle alignment. But my question is, is it worth it/possible to put stiffer gm springs from say fe4/gxp suspension or just run new fe2 /fe3 OEM/moog/etc. springs? (impala springs are rusty and don't want to reuse them.) I tried searching the forums and didn't find a good answer on if there's a worthwhile difference. This is with kyb gr2/excel g struts. Thanks
I love the gxp suspension, but its getting hard to find. I think the gr2 kyb setup would be good
These cars ride very smooth and comfortable for the size of the car. How bad did this hurt the ride?
Its deffinantly stiffer, but i dont mind. Rides great to me.
I like it! I’ve really enjoyed this series on the Malibu, really a car I’ve never paid much attention to but you got me looking for some for cheap 😂
Thanks. More malibu stuff coming
The headliner looks just like mine like a cat went haywire on it. But the seats looked pretty decent from what I seen, gonna be quite a bit better than a budget beater when you get done with it. Wheels helped the overall look out a great deal. Don't need a honda or toyota to have a good used car. Gm made some good fwd stuff in the late 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
I plan on re doing the headliner too, just have to get some other stuff done first
Motor upgrade eventually?
Thinking about it
@@SalemDoyle If it has the 3100, it's straightforward to put in the 3500, run the same ECM. There's a fair debate if you can get more power out of an NA 3800 or a 3500.
It does
