More Suspension Upgrades.
Been thinking about my spring swap since it'* still raining.
Is the swap worthwhile?
I have - FE1 - suspension, soft ride
The SSE has - FE2 - suspension, ride and handling
I get two to three bounces out of the back end which explains the dump I'm getting on WOT. Kind of annoying, So I figure new struts would be nice.
My Lower Control Arm Bushings are Rubber, And 11 years old. Is there a poly replacement available?

Hey, JR, I think if you put the part # for te Monroe Air struts in Techinfo that would be in invaluable bit of knowledge. I my self would be very interested in them if I ever needed struts for any of my H-bodies.
Dame, get soem FE2 springs from a low mileage FE2 in a yard. Get the Monroe air struts, or their equivalent (which would be pretty hard to beat unless Koni started making adjustable'* for the H-body).
