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)

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
