Hello everyone. I'm new and hope the memebers might be able to help me. I want to replace the OEM struts on my 2005 Grand Prix, but I don't seem to be able to find any aftermarket performance struts, i.e., Bilsteins, KYB, etc. I've looked out at online suppliers and don't find anything. Am I missing something?? Thanks in advance for your input.

04+ performance market is limited. Best you'll be able to do is get some aftermarket struts and lowering springs, I believe.

http://showmetheparts.com/kyb/ Select your car choices and this gives you the available KYB's... Use that part number to order your new struts

Ifitwasnt4u - You made my day! Looks like the GR2's for me. I want a little stiffer ride than OEM.

I have GR2's and happy with them. Its much easier to take that part number to a KYB seller and they can order them for you. Or you might have some luck searching ebay with the part number.

The Grandprix and Monte Carlo

FYI, A lot of 2000-2004 Monte Carlo parts are the same as the Grand Prix.

http://www.pfyc.com/c/04/2004-2008+Pontiac+Grand+Prix+04+Accessories+Store.html is another outlet to find part numbers, then search other websites as their prices are rather high
