Time to shopping for new struts and lower spring for now. Okay my plan is... Buy 2 front & 2 rear KYB AGX from performancepeddler website. I was told it is cheap to buy. It is only cost me $450.16 with free shipping for KYB AGX. Pretty good deal. ZZP wants $574.99 + shipping. W-body store wants $569.99 + shipping. I was told this site has clubgp code but I don't know what is code? Anyone know? ZZP has free shipping on this Thursday and Friday coupon. I decide buy SSC lower springs, anti-polo washer and *maybe* F-body brake kit. I see ZZP has monroe struts mounts plate but I remember correct that some people hate monroe because it is crap? Still undecide if I want to buy that or not. There is link. There are actually 1 bad review on that product too. https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=398&catid=138 Thanks, palsut

SSC's are meant for stock struts to give you the maximum drop.
However AGX's + SSC's is a good combo!
You need new strut mounts your old ones will be toast. The ZZP ones are fine dude.

I guess I was thinking monroe struts was bad that people don't like it. I will give it a shot for strut mount plate. The Guz has it and it doesn't any problem. Time to order away now. Oh yeah mine need new one sooooo badly. It has nasty super rusty struts. It is over 109,000 mileage & nearly 7 years old. That's why it is time to shopping for struts & springs now.

for strut mounts go to the local parts store and see what the price will be, your getting a same product with a warranty most likely

You will need to change out your front mounts, I'd suggest using KYB mounts. Your rear mounts should be fine, no need to change those. Don't go cheap or this will be your result...

I already brought Monroe struts plate from zzp site around 1am.
Bobby, is that same Monroe product that you got mess up?
KYB AGX struts is on hold because I have 2... yes that's right.... 2 SSC lowering spring on my order. I don't know how hell it happened. It was shown once as I checked but I don't understand how it got twice? Possible ZZP site error?
I try email customer service 15 minutes later after my order. Nothing so far but just got email that order is getting processing. Again, I email to owner from clubgp site for hope of extra product refund. I would be pissed if he says "too late". I know it has poor customer service response but I hope they will solve my problem soon as possible before it is shipped. If I'm stuck with 2 SSC lowering spring then I probably will sell it on local area or gp meeting either.

Just got xmas bonus. So I already ordered KYB AGX struts. ZZP fixed the problem "double" order yesterday but still haven't got refund back which I know it will be on Monday as normal business day. Just glad they fixed the problem before they shipped it out. SSC lowering spring will be in my door on Monday. Not sure when KYB AGX struts will be there since I just ordered them today. It says 7 to 10 business day. Probably in end week of December. I hope weather is getting warm so I can take her out of garage to ride around. It was 30+ miles away from me and park it in garage on cover for few weeks on my mom's new house. Chico: I'm sure I will love it. They will finally shut up about "LOWER IT!!" after I installed my new 18" wheel in early 2009. What is LCA? Thank Bobby... Sound serious mess up for happen again 2nd times. Did it damage on the hood? Should I take it to pro like mida or any struts shop to install them? I have zero skill for that struts job.

The first time it happened was with my metal hood, no damage. Second time was with the Fiberglas hood, only received minor scratches on the underside. As soon as I got home I placed a 2x4 piece of wood between the strut and hood to help protect the hood. Any automotive shop can do this repair for you.
