I'm guessing you're looking for aftermarket stuff, right?

I basically have the same available. Mine are off my 03 with about the same mileage. I don't know where you're located, but I'll match his price of $40 + shipping. So it's up to you whichever is cheaper on the shipping.

Since you have to replace them, you might as well get aftermarket. Lowering your car adds more stress to the stock shocks/struts. You can use the stock ones, but your ride will be better if you just ahead and get some after market.

I just got Toikco HP Series shocks & struts from AM for $291 shipped.... might want to look at that.

No, they were never on the car when it was lowered, so they are still stiff like they should be.

Just got them installed today with the H&R springs and drove about 90 miles. Seem just fine. Granted, its lowered so the ride quality is a bit worse and bumpy but overall I do not see anything wrong with them yet.

If you are looking for stock shocks/struts and/or Springs I have my stocks ones now. They are from a V6.. do not know if these suspension parts are different for a GT. Let me know if you would be intrested and we can look into if they will work for ya.
