    Will the Bilstien struts from a '07 comp G fit onto a '00 GTP sedan?

    Yes. But there is no such thing as an 07 Comp G. And Comp G's didn't come with bilsteins. Only the GXP's came with bilsteins.

    FYI the bilsteins will raise the car up than any of the other struts.

    Really? Even with lowering springs? I've never heard of the strut raining the car. Is it longer?

    Yep. I just put SSC's on my car with Bilsteins. The bilsteins I bought new have ~10,000 miles on them. And with the SSC's, it's just barely lower than stock height. Lower yes, but not much.

    My car weighs about 4000lbs, the curb weight I found for a GDP it ~3600. Why does it sit so high? Mine is a sedan, is yours a coupe?

    Do you know the weight? I think mine is heavier than a gxp, so why would it be higher on my '00? How much should they cost used? Theses are $100. Good deal?

    2000 Grand Prix = ~3366 lbs

    2006 Grand Prix GXP = ~3600

    And are they $100 each? How many miles?

    Put some lowering springs on it down the road. Bilsteins take lowering springs just as well as AGX's.

    From what I gathered, the bilsteins raise the car about 1/2" - 3/4" with stock springs. One guy said it raised the rear 2" and the front 3/4" with stock springs. With lowering springs it may not sit as low as you are now.

    Bilsteins aren't longer, just a better monotube setup

    Get some Intrax springs and you will sit lower
