I decided to go with the KYB struts plus. Apparently the springs are not "recommended" for the GTP since they are "constant rate" vs. "variable rate." I'm not sure how the vehicle will handle differently between these two types of springs. But I figured that if the struts plus are good enough for the GT, with the kind of driving I do, they're good enough for my ride.

The installation was generally simple. I did have some trouble getting the bolts in at the strut-to-knuckle connection. I found that if my son slowly turned the wheel as I worked the bolt in, I would eventually find a position where the bolt slipped in. Note that I had a small jack under either the ball joint or the rotor and I adjusted the height as needed.

For the back, I put in the lower strut-to-knuckle (?) bolt first. Then using the jack, I once was able to get the upper bolts through the body and get the nuts started. Then I worked on getting the second strut-to-knuckle bolt in.

Significantly improved the ride. Even before the alignment, the car's steering was good, not pulling. But I did get the alignment a few days later.

The ease of installation made the extra cost of the struts plus well worth it. Plus the mounts got replaced. I'm hanging on to the old springs in case there's ever a reason to put those on.
