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

Less than $200 shipped... now that's where it's at! Oooo! [shivers] That is all 4 right? Next question. Would it be necessary to swap out the stock springs to accomidate these KYBs?

I just replaced my struts and springs last summer; after six years the springs were worn out. It rides much better now! How much lower is it?

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.

Yea...money is an object, especially when it's a 900 dollar object. I think some lowerage is going to be necessary, along with FM 40s.
