How many km is acceptable for using stock struts with ssc lowering springs?

i have 63000 km on my 05 GXP. I'd like to order the ssc lowering springs....

If I want new struts, what options are out there for my GXP?

Thanks,

DemiGXP

For the 2006+ Impala SS, the p/n is 21-2731, but they're different than the Monte. Nick could get you that, I'd guess.

Interesting tidbit I just realized. Way back in the day ('06-'07, lol), there were CMS (Canuck Motorsports) springs on the market for a lot less than the Eibach kits. I saw them often on ebay. I'm reading over my Invoice to get the p/n, and see the company name: RMW Management Inc., DBA Canuck Motorsports. SSC and CMS are one in the same, apparently.

And if anyone needs to know where in Canada they are, they're in Surrey, British Colombia.
