GTZs have the "sport tuned" suspension and ride lower, correct?

So then does that mean the springs are shorter, therefore the struts are stronger than the ones from a ES model? And then that means if I lower my car, my struts will last longer than a ES lowered to the same height with both cars using the stock struts?

Basically, my question is:
Are the struts from the GTZ stronger than the ES...

(If i asked myself this question, i would say yes, just making sure with you guys https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif )

From what I've read, just the springs and sway bars are different on the GTZ, but the struts/shocks are the same.

yup. the only diff between the ESV6/LSV6 and GTZ suspension wise is that the front sway bar is thinner, the rear is thicker and the springs are a little stiffer (if they are shorter they are by about 0.5") on the GTZ. the "sportier" suspension package is still much closer to luxury than to sport. the shocks are exactly the same on all V6 8G's.
