Overall, a greate shock for the price. Unfortunately, after 15000 miles (20 months) one of the rear shocks is blown. Running stock springs and ride height, so only the shock is to blame. I will replace the blown shock, but will not be my first choice when replacing all four. Follow-up research shows others have had problems with the rear shocks. I haven t contacted Tire Rack yet, but will see if they offer any solution. Car is only driven for fun on public roads, no track time. Yet!

I drove my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix for 9 years and 33,000 miles with what I thought was a suspension that was basically poorly designed and could not handle large deviations in the road surface well. I tried to get Pontiac to look at and fix the proglem while the car was still under warrenty but they said it was performing within normal limits and would do nothing to help me. Because I liked everthing else about the car and honestly did not have the money to simply go out and replace the car I kept and drove my Grand Prix all those years. Finally last year rather than spend the money to buy a new car I decided to try replacing the struts (and all associated mounting parts as well). I chose KYB adjustable struts thinking they would give me a chance to firm up the settings if I did not like the base, softest, setting. As a side note I had previously replaced the stock rear anti-sway bar with a stiffer one offered by GM performance parts. It really tightened up the cornering of the car with absolutly no added ride harshness. Another side note is that I also tried putting a very stiff GM replacement sway bar on but with terrible results. I took it off the next day and put the stock front bar back on. OK now back to the KYB struts. I am about as close to heaven as I can get with the ride and handling improvement offered by the KYB adjustables. I hated the ride of my Grand Prix before putting the KYBs on but not absolutly love it. The same KYB adjustable struts that fit my Grand Prix also fit a bunch of other similar bodies. If you have any problems with the ride or handling of one of these vehicles my recommendation is to run don t walk to the tire rack and order a set of KYB adjustable struts today. If you like a car with a well controlled suspension and good ride quality to boot you will not be disapointed.
