Is anyone that has a standard suspension thinking about upgrading to the sport suspension? I have springs and I have a source for used sway bars. Would need to find the shocks to make it complete.
Gen 1 V6 Suspension Upgrade anyone?

You can go to www.lskoncepts.com and get the part number for the sport shocks and then shop around. I did that and found them at Tascaparts.com for about $72 I think it was.

I'm sure this had been answer but I'm to lazy to search today, what's the difference between sport and euro shocks?
I was going that route until I found out how hard the rear stabilizer bar would be to replace; the rear sub-frame needs to be lowered. A sport front bar and base rear bar would result in weird handling. That said, I did install the sport shocks with good results. From what I've read/heard, base shocks with Eibach springs makes for a very nice set-up.
Calibration; and from what I understand, availability. The euro shocks aren't available anymore. The euro shocks were quite a bit stiffer than the sport shocks.

At one time due to a dealer error I had a non sport front sway bar on my LS. I noticed the difference immediately and took it back to the dealer to get the right sway bar put in. Sway bar mismatch resulted in under steer on the car. It was an OMG experience as I almost lost it on some of the curvy roads I drive daily. And yes, I was pushing the limits.
