Yep exact same problem as mine.

Given the voltage drops right down and you've already complained of a flat battery, I'd say the battery is stuffed. See if you can test it with a battery from another car and if that fixes it you're set. If not, then the starter motor is gone.

use 3 different batteries in the car looks like one is stuffed so going on what has been said looks like a starter motor

Sure your terminals are clean and tight?

Scattergun approach at is finest

rang bursons........ahhh nope not at $240+ a side!!!!!!!!!!..got a quote on bilstiens $400..i think i know what way i'm going!!!!!! ordered!!!

Bilsteins are good, but the valving can be a little harsh due to the monotube design. That being said, the hard you push them the harder and better they'll work, one of the great side-effects of Monotubes

If they ever blow out, let me know. I can rebuild them for you
