    I run stock struts, have for 4 years now with no issues. They work great with the pogo eliminators from ZZP as well. Only thing i had to replace so far was a few mounts. That's it.

    Way to stay on topic Signore Moderator..........................


    OP: I'd go with some KYB AGX's, thats what I have on mine, and it rides great! And having the ability to adjust the firmness of the ride is also nice. GR-2's are nice stock replacement, but with the drop you'll get from SSC's, you're close to that "need better than stock strut" line.

    Oh, and yes, with any strut you go with, make sure you get some anti-pogo washers, ZZP has them in stock, or you can look up the part # for subframe washers, and order them from gmpartsdirect or a local dealer.

    I'm trying to track down struts that I can locally, gr2 are easy to get from Napa but for some reason they only show the rear agx on their site
    or I could go on ebay and have the agx shipped to me for about $700

    Yes, they are subframe washers.....................while blue's comment was unwarranted and childish, you fire back with one just as juvenile. Good job guy.

    Yup, I'm retarded.

    Because those are subframe bushings as well.

    And they are basically a dollar a piece if not less from your local junkyard.

    Laugh it up, guy.

    But yeah, go get some subframe washers to use them on your struts when you install them, and I had great luck with stock struts. Just get new replacements.
