3800 Springs and Struts

[stixx]

Im looking at installing KYB struts and Eibach springs on my GTP. Besides a camber adjustment kit, is there anything else I need for the install - strut mounts for example? Im trying to ensure I order everything I need without having to track down items I forgot later on.

You may want new spring isolators too. Definately get the strut mounts, it adds to the cost, but you'll regret it later you didn't do it. If you can't afford them all, do the fronts at least; they take the most punishment. I have 1 rear isolator brand new from GM left over from my spring/strut upgrade (didn't come in-time, and couldn't return) if you want it.
BTW: Not sure if I would reccommend the KYB's and Eibach combo. The KYB's aren't that much stiffer than stock. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the GMPP springs, people seem to be happy with them and the KYB's.

you might get pogo with that combo, i know some people use the pogo mod to stop it so hopefully some will chime in.

I was also looking at the Springtech springs, but assume the pogo issue would be the same (???)

i have ST struts, but not the springs but they have like a 1.6 lowering spring but they say when they settle in its like 2in.

i have kyb's with eibachs. the ride is pretty rough. i have the anti - pogo mod and it helps a decent amount. but still, you get some pogo. i bought all new strut mounts too, but for some reason, something is wrong with my front right strut. if i didn't have that problem, it would be awesome. i really like the low look of the car.
