It has been a while since I posted on here, and especially after th orange car was killed by the minivan. So after an unemplyed stint here is the 2004 Buick Regal GS.
When the car came home (just a week after the cavy got in the accident):

First mod was a suspension upgrade with a kit that GM puts on the Police Impala:
Then an upgrade to F-body front brakes:
Then once I got a new job I went crazy on go fast parts, and took only one pic of the uninstalled parts, and that was the new 1.9:1 rockers:
Other upgrades include headers, u-bend delete, resonator delete, EGR delete, dual cat back exhaust, smaller pulley, fenderwell intake, and HP tuners (with some help fromt a guy ion NY):
Other mods include tinted talis and windows:
New tires, cleaned up wheels and some other subtle mods:
thought I would share, comments welcome.
That thing is right sleeper dude! Congrats on some good work and some good mods!

didnt your regal have the front strut bar to begin with ?
only other good suspension upgrade GM doesnt sell any more , the koni suspension

The 2004 came with no strut tower bars and no performance shift, so I am added everything, front and rear braces with custom "Don Rome" brackets to mount them.
id like it better if it was all one color, not the factory "two tone", but i like it none-the-less
got dons bracket on the g/fs gtp , , gotta do the rear still , they are nice brackets
Will the F-body brakes fit underneath the stock 16s? If so....*looks at GF's GP*
Hmmm....
1989 Z24 Convertible - Dust Covered
2006 tC - Dust Covered, but driven more
LS1 F-Body T/As and Z28s come with 16x8in Rims Stock.
WS6 and SS's come with 17x9in Rims, stock.

yes the f-body 12" 2 piston calipers fit with most of the stock 16's for the regal and the g/p
they wont fit the lace/mesh wheels
the 00-05 monte and impala , and the intrigue came with 12" single piston calipers , and they are a bracket swap for the g/p , uses the stock caliper
Sorry to here the Orange car got toasted, I remember you took me for a ride in that wild car once opon a time...fun

Whats better is when you do that and the guy next to you is looking over goin "WTF?"

Two wrongs don't make a right. Unless you're Chuck Norris.
Then two wrongs make a roundhouse kick to the face.
Thanks, Brett, can't wait to se what happens to the Scooby.
