Dealer and Bilstein Called Bilstein and Pontiac and they both said that they are no longer available. Bilstein said they have nothing for the Grand Prix at all. Anyone know the number off of the struts? BRep told me if I had that, they could give me more info.

I couldn't find any Bilstiens either. I do know they make 2 different sets of KYB's for our cars that work pretty good. One set is also adjustable too.

Invest in the KYB AGX adjustables....probably the same cost ($500 for the set?) and they're right up there in quality...plus they're adjustable, like I said. IIRC, you're lowered (?), so these would be right up your alley.

Ok, just to check, I called my dealer and they said the Bilstien's are still available for the GXP. (By the way their price was $526 for ONE!!!) I have an email out to another to verify. My God thats expensive. He did say he'd give me a "deal" of $425 each. Yeah......thanks.
