So they dont make em for our car? The ones I looked at went from .8" to 3" drop...that isnt enough? And if I order Grand Am Coilovers for my 04....what year grand am coilovers do i need? Same thing I would imagine...but as you can tell by my questioning...suspension is not my deal!

i am pretty sure there is modifications needed.
Not sure if the ones you are talking about are the ones i have seen that turns your stock struts into coilovers. if they are they require putting a threaded sleeve on and some other things.
Sound extreme might no more.
