Where were you 2 months ago when I bought sensatracs? The part number is correct as the 931799 rears are the ones without the ELC stuff. How much are a set of those going to cost someone Kenn?

And I use nothing But Monroe here

To throw in my .2, pep boys will give you the reflex and install them for a total of around 500.00$, seems high for shaddy *** mechanics. Gonna check out NTB pretty soon since they carry these parts as well

gmpartsdirect.com, struts for the STS are $750 a piece through the dealer, through gmpartsdirect.com they are $368, big difference. If I understand it right the SSEi is similar or the same to the STS
