    I'm well aware of the common sagging issues of worn out springs on the rear end on the GP platform... My brothers GTP had this very issue... I on the other hand, have been very lucky and haven't had to deal with that issue... a few months ago, my drivers side rear strut coil spring broke in half, leaving me stranded at work. So I went to Napa and got the Monroe complete strut assembly and today I did the passenger side rear one... I get paid next week, so I will change out the fronts as well to complete the suspension update... but over all, I cant stress enough how great this car is... 135,xxx miles and only one strut broke.. basic tie rods and ball joints were replaced through the years, but no other really major suspension repairs needed... these cars are tanks when taken care of!!

    and no sagging... looking sharp and not too shabby for a 13 year old car...

    I agree with you on that. It does suck for those of you that live in snowy areas with all that rust.

    Yup.. she has her fair share of rust underneath.. bur overall, she was well taken care of and will continue to be and hopefully I can get 200-300 k miles outta her... she's a great daily driver..

    Lol.. I get a lot of mixed signals on the Plasti Dip... I like it... at some point I'll rip it off and maaaybe demold/debadge the car.. but being so old, I don't want any lines when I take them off.. even my brother who's an auto body collision tech said it might be hard to get rid of the outlines...
