It should be mentioned that rogers symptoms are classic strut only symptoms. There is no need to spend any more than quality struts and possibly the strut mounts including an alignment. While this is a great post about swapping suspension and stiffening the ride, in rogers case......it'* total overkill.

Do those part numbers work for a Park Avenue? I think I might try getting my new PA to FE2 specs. Those same spring PN'* can be used on the PA, or is there a different spring to bring it to FE2 specs?

Yeah, those mods, and a set of 225/60/16 Michelin'* will make my new PA handle sweet, I hope!
