If possible, I am sure there is someone near you who would love to do a swap-out. That is probably one of the biggest after-purchase desires of the 3.0 owners is to have a sport suspension and all of the trimmings.

Better fuel economy and great handling, what's not to like?

Yo_Odie, you can swap in base springs and shocks. If you have the CATS struts and the ride is hard, this may indicate an issue with the CATS module, etc. I wish to place the CATS struts back into my STR. She now has Bilstiens (base shocks).
