2000 GP GT Stance

[grt]

My 2000 Grand Prix GT seems to sit lower at the back, kind of takes away from the stance with the front higher. The struts seem to be ok, not bouncing or anything, it does have 135k on it. Do you think its time for new rear struts?

Rear springs are probably starting to wear out.

x2, shocks have nill to nothing to do with ride hieght. Saggy springs are what cause lower curb height.

thats what i bought, monroe quick struts. yeah, they were expensive but its still nothing compared to what a shop would charge you for the job. i got mine from rockauto.com. there is a write up on here that explains how to do it, it is very easy.

I have been having quality issues with aftermarket replacement auto parts, so I bought a set of used struts for all corners complete with springs, shocks, and mounts with only 40,000 miles on them. Same deal, just unbolt the old ones, and bolt the new ones in.
