01 Bonneville ssei rear struts air to coil...

I bought some Monroe max air rear struts after reading on here that they were great... One of them is leaking from a *shoot* weld from the factory and they will not warranty them after only 2 months. So I bought coil over struts for it and love they way the car sits and handles but my service ...

01 ssei rear strut upgrade

I heard Monroe max air was the way to go. I bought a set of them only to find the air fittings are not the same as the stock ones.

Re: Replace factory radio

I got it... It turns out the had them labeled correctly. I put back together the wire that I had cut fot 02-05. Then cut the wire for 00-01 and it's working. The only thing I don't like is you have to turn the radio almost all the way up to get decent volume. Why is this and can I change it?

I was thinking I could just go to the part store and pick up some 04 GXP brake calipers since they are dual piston, and the caliper bracket. Does any one know if this is a ...

Re: Replace factory radio

I bought it from crutchfield and after all the tech support and four different people talking to me the last one said it wouldn't work, or wouldn't work with my stock amp ...
