SHOP BY SERVICE TYPE

The Pontiac Firebird was a 2-door sports car manufactured by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 1967 to 2002. The Firebird was introduced alongside the first-generation Chevrolet Camaro and was offered in parallel to contemporary generations of the latter throughout the production period. Sharing the platform and most of structural components with the Camaro, the Firebird was possessing a considerably redesigned exterior and slightly recomposed option list to be distinguished from the Chevrolet-badged sibling. The model saw three regenerations and a great number of minor upgrades through the run, however, unlike the Camaro that is still marketed, it was ceased in 2002.

Your Firebird's suspension ensures stability and controllability of the car at high speeds. To feel confident and safe behind the wheel, you certainly need the suspension to be well-maintained.

It is about 1/2"- 3/4" longer than stock bump stops. So if your car is lowered you will be bottoming out even more. But I don't have an issue. I have the slp Bilstein shock/spring kit. And I haven't bottomed out yet.
