I know for a fact the Bilsteins are the same part number across all years 2000-07 because that's how they are advertised. However, that's Bilstein. I can't say for sure what other manufacturers' applications are. You would have to confirm through the manufacturer or possibly a supplier.

Awesome response, I knew I was in the right place when I found this site. You guys are great. I will post a pic or two after the parts are installed. I went with a 1-1/4" front sway bar and poly bushing and a new rear bar as well. SSC springs and KYB AGX adjustables

I hope their cataloging is right because I ordered today.
Let us know how those KYB's are.

Sounds good, glad to help. Looking forward to some pictures when it's done.

I had KYB AGX struts paired with the Eibach (Pro-Kit) lowering springs on my 2003 Monte Carlo SS (installed early 2007) and that was a pretty decent ride and setup in the four years I ran it on that car. Although, Eibachs advertised drop was about 0.5" less than the Canucks is so I'll be interested in how the ride is putting Canucks with the AGX.

Yea, sounds like we will need to go with a new strut choice next time if they are being phased out.

Maybe this is what we will be doing on our next suspension overhaul....
this is pretty aggressive procedure but I commend the guy for going for it on his Grand Prix.

If you ordered the KYB AGX 734058/59, they'll fit and you'll love em with Canuk/SSC springs, good ride quality.

Rockauto carries the AGX struts.

Thanks Man,
That is good to hear. Waiting, waiting, waiting for the AGX to arrive. The last pieces needed before i can tear into it.
