I've had my 2000 GTP for about 4 years now. It had 116,000mi when I bought it and I'm up to 157,000 now. The suspension has been crap since day one, most likely from poor maintenance and having the balls beat out of it before I owned it. Last fall I had my buddy's shop replace both front struts with KYB GR2's, both front wheel bearings, tie rods, spindles and ball joints. Now the rear is crap and in need of replacement. I've decided to do the rest of the work myself. I've read the sticky thread on Lowering thoroughly, but I still have a few questions.
-Regarding comfort, how do you rank the Vogtland springs vs SSC?
-Again regarding comfort, how would you rank the GR2's vs soft settings on AGX's?
-Presuming I didn't drop the thing to the ground, how comfy could I make the coil-over package ZZP is selling?
I'm also curious if ZZP's claim that SSC springs give an equal height for front and rear is true, and is this also true of Vogtland springs? I know the SSC springs will be a bit lower, and either height is fine for my needs right now. I'd prefer the adjustable strength of AGX's or Coil-Overs, but daily driver is this cars main purpose and I want to ensure I'm happy. If you guys all feel that GR2's are the most comfortable riding strut, I will probably use them.
Since we all have different tastes and preference on what is actually considered "comfort" I'll give a reference. If anyone's been in the latest gen Malibu's, I think that's a really nice ride quality and I'd love to get close to that if at all possible. On the flip side, I have Intrax lowering springs and Bilstien shocks on my 88 monte carlo ss and I think that rides perfectly fine.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
