Finally I decided to order some struts for my S-tech springs. I ran the springs on my stock struts for about 20,000 miles (now at 37,200). UPS delivered them today and I installed them within 2.5 hours (just got a new air compressor with tools yesterday )

The ride is great with settings 3 in front and 4 in the rear. Stiff, but it's very comfortable for me.

I also fixed the squeeking when I turn the wheel. Turns out the top hats on the sturts weren't facing OUT.

Very nice... I'm surprised the stockers lasted this long on those S-techs....

Btw, did you cut your bumpstops anywhere? Just curious....

Cool I got a set of S-techs and am planning on getting the illuminas. How much of the bumpstop did you trim.

I trimmed only the front ones. I took off the whole big piece off the top.
