    I've done some looking around and can't find the information I am looking for but I may just be missing it.

    I need to do the struts in my 98 GTP as all of them are leaking. I don't want to lower the car at all but I haven't been able to find a stock ride height strut/spring assembly. Does anyone have a link to find these or possibly part numbers from anywhere?

    I believe KYB and Monroe are the only ones that make complete spring and strut assemblies for our cars. Most people don't speak highly of the Monroe's. Sometimes you can find good deals on eBay or check rockauto.com. Those are both stock ride height.

    Cool thank you.


    EDIT:
    Ok after taking a look at those suggestions I think I am interested in getting the individual parts and putting it all together myself. Most likely the KYB GR2's and non-lowering springs. Anyone have any suggestions on those?

    I checked and rockauto does not have them, but ajusa.com does. I have ordered from them and been happy with them. Good luck.

    I have heard the Monroe's are OK but I have just the opposite goal I want to stop the tail sag I see on all Gran Prix everywhere! Maybe raise ride 1" or so. I have seen a few out there w/the height I want but never close enough to talk to the owners. Asked a lot of mechanics even garage owners, no one knows.

    Order Vogtland springs for it. They have a small drop and won't give it the slammed look. It will sit level and look like it should have from the factory. If you like the high ride height in the front that comes stock, then you can swap Intrigue springs in to the rear to level it out. Not sure on the year you need, but I'm sure a search could give you the answer.

    Oldsmobile intrigue springs will raise the rear. They swap right in.

    Thanks to both of you with a similar answer: Olds Intrigue springs. My car is a 97 GT coupe 3800 BTW! I cannot tell you in this small space the jams my car has gotten me out of, such as snow, freeway lane change duels, etc I have owned just about everything and definitely driven everything, and my GP is $ for $ near the top of the list. later, hgw997
