I dont really mind the stiff suspension like you guys said "there mustangs", but i do think i need new struts and i didnt know what i should go with. Its a 89 gt im not sure if i pointed that out yet? My cars basically riding on the tires because there saggin so much. my tire size is 245 45r 17, i belive and they hit around corners and on bumps, in both front and back.

Sagging is from bad springs...not from struts. They just absorb impact, not hold the car up...You can push them in by hand, they certainly don't have enough pressure to hold up your car.
