GMPP handling upgrade kit will help improve the handling, as well as the KYB's.

Oooo! [shivers] That is all 4 right? Next question.

Would it be necessary to swap out the stock springs to accomidate these KYBs?

The KYB's will work just fine with your stock springs, but you may want to consider getting new springs, and strut mounts. I just replaced my struts and springs last summer; after six years the springs were worn out. It rides much better now!

Thanks for the info guys.

Based on the talk about springs I think I will replace mine I have 150,000 on the car and I know the back springs feel week.

I found these GMPP springs on the ZZ performance site dose anyone know how they ride I would use the anti pogo washers as well.

Igor,
If your plan is to use lowering springs with the KYBs, you should get the anti-pogo kit from ZZP. If money is no object, go with these: GMPP Koni suspension package
