    Okay found some of the last Bilsteins. I got the Fe4 version for the front and B6 comfort for the rear. They will be going on a 98 GTP. I am looking for stock height or a tad lower. I want the best riding spring, not performing or looking. My research leads me to believe Vogtland springs will achieve this. Does that sound right?

    What is the difference in the strut mounts Rockauto has? I see two part #'s and prices for AC Delco mounts with bearing.

    What all for spring isolators do I need? Top and bottom for front and rear?

    Anything thing that I am missing? Most the other stuff is pretty new other than the GMPP konis with Gen II Eibach springs there now.

    Any advice or input is appreciated!

    Just get monroe strut mounts. The vogtlands should put you back to stock height since bilsteins raise a 97-03 model. You can replace the rubber isolators and boots.

    You should get those koni's rebuilt.

    Bilstein


    Actually Amazon just contacted me to tell me the rears are not available. Do you have a source?


    Guz- When I checked it was $225 a strut to get the Konis rebuilt plus shipping. They were nice, but I want to try the Bilsteins. I will be keeping the Konis around for a future rebuild.

    thanks for the replies

    I just ordered them, only 1 full set left on there now. I also order the AC Delco mounts


    They will make my 98 sit higher thats why Im going with Vogtland lowering springs to get me a stockish ride height.

    Anyone know a good source for the springs?
