04 comp-g strut replacement

hey all, Im putting togeather a parts list for my comp-g, needing to replace all four struts and mounts.
Im gona reuse my stock springs for now, I read the thread about the 04/05 gp haveing a different strut/sway bar setup then everything else. Im also interested in the kyb excel-G for the FE4 monty (http://www.grandprixforums.net/kyb-e...ech-45867.html (KYB Excel-G vs GR-2 - interesting discussion with KYB tech.)) as im useing my stock springs that will have sank alittle, this should work great. but will they work? or will have have to change my A arms?

anyone? i just don't want to order monroe struts. i also want to know what if i can change just the LCA and keep the stock sway bar, or will I need to replace the sway bar also. maybe with stock 06+ or what not?

Stick with the CompG Struts, IMO. Part numbers 88955411 and 88955413. I think they might be making GR-2s now for the 04/05 that don't require new LCAs, but I prefer the CompG struts over them. CompG struts are stiffer than the base model. I paired mine with some DNA springs and couldn't be happier with the handling and ride, as well as price.

Be careful about the rear top mounts, a lot of companies make a universal replacement that is a pile of crap, when I changed mine I got some and ended up keeping my stock rear mounts. They don't get any weather/moisture on top since they are in the trunk and are probably fine anyway, no bearings to wear like the front.
