I doubt they fit 96-98...There would be more hype about it then. Probably just for 99+

yea,only fit 99+ GA's with struts all the way around,or 4 way disc brakes in other words. The coilvers replace your struts and springs so if you have shocks its not gonna work

actually the reason coilovers wont work on our cars is because of that big ass plate on the strut. Having said that, i say NO to fitting, and BS on the whole thing.. they dont even have pictures of them installed on GA's, AND they are calling for JDM spec...lol

Is there a way to switch 96-98's to rear disc and rear struts then??? Is it possible to customize something or are we just not able to make them work???

you can do a rear end conversion,shell out around 900 bucks for RSM Racings kit.And thats too much work just because you want coilovers,id rather stick with springs rather then spend 900+ just cuz Id want coilovers,these coilovers could work but it would require some major modification,guy I know made his own coilovers for his Alero(different car but still same idea)

well they dont make crap parts thats for sure, they just take forever......... but they do make alot of one off stuff, there not just resalers. Plus they are probably more reliable then someone who sells 40 dollar JDM coilovers for a GA on Ebay.

Id go with Mantapart before Id buy anything from companies that sell stuff that isn't well made and reliable.I have never ordered anything from Mantapart and have only heard problems about time it takes to get the parts but nothing bad about their products and Im a patient person.
