Default GXP Strut Assy swap
Hey guys,

Has anyone swapped the Billistien strut assy's from a GXP to a Monte yet? If so what all is required?

Thanks

-Ryan

Why not just swap oem for bilsteins for your car.

Yep I see that, it appeared that something was different with the sway bar when I looked at a GXP on the hoist, but I guess not.

Yes and the Buicks also have the sway/stabilizer attached to the strut (tab on body of strut)
who knows for sure listings have been incorrect before

Thumbs up
If you use the strut assemblies from the GXP, you will need to use the sway bar also. Other than that you should bo OK!
