I have a 2006 Grand Prix GXP and I am need of some struts and really dont want to spend the money on the Bilisteins. I had read in other posts about the KYB struts however I am having troubles finding the ones specific for my year they all say not for the 18 inch wheels.

Rockauto has the OE billsteins for your car...fronts are spendy but worth it imo...kyb won't compare at all

The reason is; worn out Bilsteins, ride like brand new KYB or Monroe.
10-17-2014
Yeah I would put bilstein on par with koni and wore out koni rides better then new Monroe
10-18-2014
Yeah stick with what the car came with. Bilsteins are much better than KYB's.

I'm not so happy with Koni. The Sports are kinda junk. One died after a year, and the adjustment range is pointlessly huge and not repeatable.Originally Posted by wa04compg

Did you do inserts?

You know my bilsteins went out over the weekend...surprise surprise...I am not impressed with them at all, in my opinion they are way to stiff for my liking. I replaced them with Monroes and I love them! Especially with Lowering springs. Sooo much better.
Anyone else done any other upgrades to theirs? Like I said I just bought mine and this thing is pretty much bone stock except for the k & N cold air intake and I just had to have the damn transmission rebuilt

I like my delco fe3 struts and vogtland springs

How many miles were on the bilsteins?
10-19-2014
Not sure, I just bought the car. there is 105000 on the car, I wouldnt think they lasted that long but its possible.
10-19-2014
Mine are still going. 100k no problems
10-19-2014
That's a lot of miles on them. I don't think you will get that much out of the monroes.
10-19-2014
The fronts are inserts, rears are shocks.
10-19-2014
If i could go back in time i wish i wouldve never bought koni retrofit's either. now they just sit in my garage collecting dust. maybe one day ill ship them off to get rebuilt and valved, but bilsteins are handling the daily driver pounding still after 100k

Maybe not. However, they ride great on my car and they only cost like 50 a piece. I can replace them 3 times by the time I pay for one rear strut Bilstein. When I first got the car I tried to order Bilsteins and Everywhere I went to said they were discontinued.

Bilestine doesn't make them any longer for our cars. And rock auto has no more of them. FYI

I saw some a few days go on rockauto

It shows they have them but once you go to order it tells you that they are no longer in stock.
