    would these work for making a coilover system?

    Brand New Fully Adjustable Lowering Coilover Kit 04-08 Pontiac Grand Prix | eBay

    seems fishy it says it comes with almost everything you would need

    it has the same picture for every car

    THey're a very generic kit, and pretty much a one time use. Had them on my old civic. The aluminum strips and makes for no adjustability in the future. Plus they ride like ass.
    No More GTP for me.

    I wouldn't use stock struts for coilovers EVER.

    You would have to cut the stock strut spring perch and make custom top mounts. It can be done, several guys have, google search making your own coilovers.

    I would use Summit racing spindles, perch, springs.
