When changin your springs its not needed to change the struts but with aftermarket springs on they will wear faster then if u had aftermarket struts. most people recommend just changin the springs with the struts because itll save you time im glad i did it at the same time cuz me and my friend spent 6 and a half hours doing it and it would suck to do it all again.

I got KYB GR2 struts and Eibach lowering springs at the same time... and I didn't even need a camber kit. It was one of the coolest things I've done for my car I ride like I'm driving a REAL sports car now

yea i agree with vipey i think this was def. one of the best mods ive done i just got the KYBs and Intrax springs and the ride is so much smoother and turning is amazing, and my drop was way lower than the eibachs and i didnt use a camber kit, so i dont think its really necessary for the eibach kit.

Very few cars do need the chamber kits .
If you were to do the air ride suspension, then you might need them.

oh ya, air ride as in up & down

I agree! It's defiantely one of the best mods you can do to a Grand Am. Not only visually stimulating but the handling improves head-over-heals in comparision to stock. I put on GR2 struts as well with SpringTech springs. I put on a chamber kit to allow me a little more adjustment but I most likely could have gotten away without needing it. I would HIGHLY recommend spending the money now to change the struts while you have everything apart, it's the smarter choice for sure!

Here is everything before putting it on...


Here's a shot shortly after throwing everything on...

sounds like its pretty much unanimous..

a description.lol nothing to buy online.

whenever it gets warm in this dumpy a$$ state

for springs try suspensionmax.com they got springs pretty cheap same thign for struts as well. you could also try Partsforyourcar.com they carry eibach springs only but diff. kinds of struts and suspension mods

[Vipey1337]

I got the eibach springs due to quality and because I didn't want to bottom out all the time (i definitely scrape concrete more than I used to even with these lol, glad I didn't really go any lower...)

Might want the new KYB AGX struts too... adjustable (twice the money tho), can go anywhere between luxury to drag strip!
