02 Camaro Struts, will they work?

I just came into some 02 Camaro struts.
No clue on brand at the moment.
They only have 10k miles on them.
Don't know if they're factory. Just curious if they'll work with my car or not and if it will help at all?

No. Front suspension is entirely different.

Now, if you mean rear shocks, then I assume they will bolt up.

Well do you think the rear shocks will help any? I have factory ones now and when I leave off the Trans brake it'll squad, come up, then squat again. I need it to stay squated

Re: 02 Camaro Struts, will they work?

What's the rest of your rear suspension? Do you have lower control arm relocation brackets?
What do you have for rear springs?
The LCARBs are a major thing for anti squat. You need them.
Also what torque arm are you running?

Re: 02 Camaro Struts, will they work?

If they are orange they are the stock de carbon shocks and arent worth putting on (rear, as said front wont work), save up a little cash and get a set of Lakewood 50/50's. They will make a vast improvement and really arent that expensive. Also like Night rider said relocation brackets are a must.
