    S197 3V S197 Lowering Springs Options?

    Yeah, it would just be an experiment at this point. To be honest, I'm not sure if the front struts or the rear shocks are contributing more to the harshness. This would just get me pointed in the right direction.Long term my guess is that I'll be putting an adjustable strut/shock package on...

    Roush UCA

    I know I am rather late to this discussion, but this was exactly the discussion I was looking for. Thanks to everyone who contributed. If I can find a NOS Roush UCA, I'll probably pick it up, but for the time being, replacing my 100K mile stock unit with a new one will do.
