What does everyone think?  I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to the suspension.

I put Monroe Sens-A-Trac's on mine. They do the job.

I think that KYB GR-2s are a great buy for the money.  I have a set on my '90 Olds Ciera, and I plan on using them on my TGP when I get new ones.  I've seen the front strut cartidge for $40 a piece, and the rear strut for $55 on tirerack.com

Yes, the KYBs are well worth it.  And, they are not much more money than normal struts.

Did they change the stance of the car at all?  It seems to me that the front is a little lower than the rear of my car ( could be the suspension is shot ).  I do hear that clunking sound coming from the rear often, and it's not as smooth as it used to be.  :) I just don't want to change it too much.

This is after having them put on. The stance stayed about the same.

So did it also solve the clunking prob in the rear end?  How do they ride?  BTW- Nice looking car you got there..   :wink:

They ride pretty good. The struts took care of one clunk. I still have another clunking though, but it is coming from the strut mount. Now that nice weather is here I'll get around to replacing them.
