I put Gabriel Guardians in my 2000 MGM. Big improvement over the original 120,000-mile shocks... ;)

I've always liked Gabriel since installing a set of Striders on my 1968 Buick about 30 years ago. :geezer:

Check Rock Auto. They have economy, stock, performance, etc.

from another forum i was told....

The 98+ ones are super easy. The rear suspension was redesigned to accommodate the watts link and the top bolt on the shock it's really easy to get to

If you don't believe me, just go take a look at yours... :D

I replaced my rears about two weeks ago, and I had a little tool that went on top of the shock to keep it from spinning and a geared wrench I want to say 17mm and it wasn't bad at all

[REAL4WD]

I loved the Bilstein HDs on my 2000 Vic. if I got another 92-02 I would get some Bilsteins again. but they are pricy.

Most folks aren't looking to spend $500 per on shocks. The results are great . . . at a price. That said, OP is asking this question in the wrong forum as his car is 2002.

I would use Bilstein HD and replace the sagging springs.

well got them all replaced i did the fronts and the shop did the rears .. shop charged 100.00 for the rear install and oil change and that includes tax ..not bad im happy and adjusted the steering box as well so she now feel like a new car ;)
