New Strut / Coil Spring / Mount Assembly

[pbxcomm]

Hello all..
I've searched new and old threads here..
I'm in the discovery process for new struts for my 2003 GT 3.8.. I'm an aggressive driver (so I'm told) but also travel much, so I'm looking for as close to a touring ride as possible..

Here's what I have found thus far, maybe some more recommendations?:

KYB SR4002 Strut-Plus
GABRIEL G57060 ReadyMount Assembly
SACHS 033010 Super Touring
MONROE 171661 Quick-Strut

I've read and researched all of these, there's a balance of good and not so good, so I'm attempting to gather enough information to make an informed decision..

This is the forum/my last stop!

Can you help?

Thanks much

The KYB GR2's are a good factory replacment strut, I'd run them again if I had too.

I was even lowered on those struts and they still gave me a decent ride like the factory struts. Slap some new mounts up top and away you go.

Thanks..
Looks like a good choice.. Can these be ordered as a strut/spring assembly, or am I stuck with wrestling a spring on these sets?

I have a whole set of KYB struts for sale if you are interested. They are complete front and rear assemblies. They have less than 500 miles. I decided to go with bilsteins. These look and function like brand new.

Let me know if you are interested

Thanks..
I would be interested.. Can I ask why you are selling these?
Would you have a cost in mind?

I see you went with Bilsteins.. Were the KYB's undesirable?

The price difference is what keeps most away from Bilsteins, but they're the best you can get. I'm guessing he just decided to go a bit further and did Bilsteins anyway. The KYB struts are great, about the best aftermarket replacement for OEM

PBX I sent you a private message.

Paint chips is right

I've been on SSC coils and Moog struts for 4 years now. No complaints. It isn't a sports car by any means, but the ride is comfy. For me the goal was to get rid of the wheel well gap, and replace two struts that were leaking.
