my uneducated guess is yes as I'm not familiar w/ dsm's as much as you guys but did the model change and is the gsx FWD? if so I'm stickin to my guns on this one.

Technically they should fit, The Chrystler / mitsu DSM crossover is very significant. Being that the gsx is awd though, they might not. The front should be the same but the back might not. Couldnt hurt to try though. I toured the dsm factory bout 30 min from my house. But back when my car was made in 95. Kinda funny, My moms Avenger and my eclipse as well as the talon all made in the same building.

No...technically, they should not. the GSX suspension (i'm 98% positive of this) is built differently. The rear weight, I know for sure will be too heavy for the struts....but hey..if it works great...if the **** breaks...then it'll be a RIDICULOUS amount of time and money wasted...lol. My buddy installed some cheapy coil overs instead of getting tein or Hp Racing (what I have) and on a trip from here (montgomery, al) to San Antonio, tx, he blew out 3 of his 4 shocks and some other parts. so needless to say, while we were down there, he dropped close to 3g's....new wheels, shocks, struts....then he insisted on a new intake and exhaust....lol....best trip ever!
