2004 Grand Prix GT - Quick front strut assembly, do they make it?

Excuse the rookie that I am, but I've done a lot of reading here, but no posts! But, I now have a question. I'm looking to replace my front struts on my GP. They're done plain and simple. Does Monroe make a quick strut assembly for the fronts? I'm not having good luck on my research. Also, here's shot of my pride and joy for you to appreciate haha. Thank you guys!

They are the same but i think it depends on the control arm and the sway bar. If it uses the new style they don't make a quick strut for it
 
Odd you guys say they don't make them. I'm seeing them on Rockauto from Moog, Monroe and a couple others. They are noted that they are 16" wheels only though.

Then they have complete AC Delcos and they don't appear to be rim size specific based on the description.
 


It's because on 04-05 models, they changed up the front suspension slightly, which is why I hated getting an 05 at first, quirky things.

Before, the front sway bar's endlink mounted to the lower control arms, but in 04-05, the front sway bar's endlink mounts to the strut itself, similar to how the back sway bar endlink's do. Maybe it's time for a sway bar upgrade? :D

I replaced both of my LCA's with the earlier style when I got new sway bars so I could actually run bigger sizes. GMPP rear sway and Dorman front sway (the Dorman is the same diameter as the GMPP, but it's solid where as only the rear bar is solid on the GMPP).

You could check to see how the rear strut mounts, and see if it's possible to just run quick struts from the back on the front. But I feel like you'll save yourself a lot of future bull by switching to the earlier design now.

The weird thing is, in 06-08, or at least the last models years GP's were made, they switched back to mounting the front sway bar to the LCA's, wtf?...
