There are some differences.... some have holes to mount sway bar endlinks and some don't. I think my monte only has those in the rear, but the gxp is both the front and rear.

I'm just wondering which ones to order. I don't want to put lowering springs on stock struts.

I assume it wouldn't wear them out too bad since the lowering springs are the factory spring rate, just shorter...I might just do the stockers.
