got a lowering kit im new to cars. im trying to learn on my 02 WS6 as i go. i received a free lowering kit from my friend. I want to change out the worn suspension parts that will remain while i lower the car. He told me i need front struts and rear shocks. But in threads i was told 02 F bodys have shocks in the front as well. Is there a reason i need a strut? was my friend misinformed on his car? or is it because im lowering it that i need to switch to a strut. and if anyone has any suggestions on a good set of struts and shocks that would be great. I dont have a bottomless wallet so a couple of bang for the buck choices would be appreciated as well. (economy sucks for me right now but am addicted to this car i just bought this year)
Well, the best springs out there is either BMR or Strano. Konis is the best shocks however the set is not cheap.
Stay away from Eibach springs unless you like to see your rear to sag.

My bad about calling them struts, still thinking I own a GTO.... anyways I gave him my extra set of INTRAX lowering springs, I have a 02 WS6 vert and I feel it gives the perfect stance. 1 7/8" drop on all four corners. I have never seen anyone run these, the car handles great and I always get compliments on the stance. The car is up on stands right now getting the turbo system installed or else i'd post some pics.
I drove Wildes car last night and it feels like my 05 E350 w/ 100k miles on it, suspension is very mushy, hahaha
