FE1 / Soft Ride Suspension for 06 GP - Where can it be found?

[wickedfrisone]

I've been trying to search online where I can find the FE1-specific replacement suspension parts that maintain that soft ride my dad's 06 (supposedly) came with from the factory.

He had rear suspension replaced at the beginning of this year but it never improved the ride and is also very loud/squeaky oftentimes, like some joints in serious need of glucosamine supplements. I can't seem to find suspension parts anywhere that specify they are the soft ride type versus FE3/sport or whatever the other option was that was available (FE2 I believe?)

According to GM Parts Giant, here is the rear struts:

I would also replace the strut mounts too if they haven't been already. At that age I'd just replace the struts/springs/mounts and call it a day.

Thanks so much I will go ahead and show these to him and let him know about the mounts as well.
