Default More strut stuff... Cadillac Allante

I need to replace the struts all the way around on my'93. No hurry - but the rears are leaking a little, and the fronts are just getting old. I bet this thing would handle a whole lot better with some new struts, and I am having them replace a lot of the bushings as well - it is just starting to get a little "sloppy" on the road.

What did you do - I want passives on the rear - it needs to be stiffer I noticed there are a couple of aftermarket brands out there - what are they like and do you have any recommendations?

And what about the front? Is there anything available other than Caddy for the 93s - or is the front the same on other years?

Thanks!!!!!!

Sorry - the Arnott struts are only for '93 - but here is the link:
http://www.arnottindustries.com/part...d6_ pid80.html

The struts ran about $600 with shipping - the sway bar links/strut mounts/bushings another $300 (approx) I am not sure but I think the sway bar links are stock - K&N strut mounts - and a combination of stock rubber bushings for the ones that rotate and poly for the ones that compress.

Install was another $400

I posted more on the switch in your aftermarket section...https://www.cadillacforum.com/m_13248/tm.htm
