Complete Front Rear Struts Coil Spring Assembly for 1997-2005

In this review the reviewer looks at a complete strut replacement set aimed at owners of late 1990s and early 2000s Buick and Pontiac V6 sedans. The bottom line: this set of four complete front and rear struts is best for a DIYer or independent shop wanting a one-step replacement that includes springs, mounts, boots and bump stops, and the single biggest reason to buy is the convenience of replacing an entire strut assembly at once rather than rebuilding individual components. The reviewer found the assemblies generally sturdy and able to restore a smoother ride when the fit is correct.

Key Features

• Complete assembly: Each unit arrives with the strut, coil spring, upper mount, boot and jounce bumper so a full one-step swap is possible and time in the shop is reduced.
• OEM-style construction: Manufactured with high-quality steel to meet or exceed OEM specifications, which helps retain factory ride characteristics and durability.
• Wide vehicle coverage: Covers several V6 Buick and Pontiac applications from 1997 through 2009 in various model years, simplifying parts selection for common platforms.
• Vibration reduction: The oil hydraulic circuit system and coil springs reduce road vibration and bumps, improving passenger comfort on longer drives.
• Installation support: An installation manual is included to assist a competent DIYer or technician with the replacement process.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for owners of Buick Regal, Century, Allure/Lacrosse and Pontiac Grand Prix V6 sedans from the covered model years who want to restore ride comfort and safety without sourcing separate springs, mounts and boots. It suits DIY mechanics comfortable with suspension work and independent shops looking to do quick strut swaps.

It is less suitable for those who require exact factory surplus parts verification for rare submodels or customers who prefer individually tuned aftermarket performance struts; compatibility should be double-checked for each vehicle before purchase because some buyers report mixed fit results.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Includes all components needed for a full strut swap, saving time and eliminating the need to compress springs separately.

• Designed to reduce vibration and bumps, delivering a noticeably smoother ride for daily commuting and long trips.

Cons

• Fitment reports are mixed; while many units match vehicle fit, some buyers may find alignment or fit issues and should verify compatibility for their exact year and engine variant.
