one more. I've had a leaking rear shock absorber and sagging front springs for over a year now. I'm thinking of first repairing the suspension. The question has just come up about which springs to install.
Ok, but in general to reduce body roll without sacrificing ride quality too much, a bigger sway bar is first.

PS: We are living in strange times..... My Government (GER) decides to give money to India for a subway, India who builds atomic submarines and flies to the moon and many pensioners here collect empty bottles or go to the food bank to survive and now I heard that you country will block the natural gas transit to Germany from January sky rocketing my heating bill. We all facing the enemy within.

Thanks for the advice! I plan to replace the shocks and springs together to avoid extra work. Later on, when I can, I'll get a sway bar kit.

Regarding the political situation, I sometimes find it hard to understand the actions of some politicians in our country too. I'm just really grateful for all the support from around the world.

Is the Gt really much heavier than the v6? Another muffler and .6 difference in displacement? IDK

Anyway, Could you find a v6 with the premium (gt) rear suspension from the dead? I love it on my V6 07 and it would be super cheap. Just a thought

Hm, actually difference is not too much - 100 lbs. I thought more. Thanks for the advice but the market is different, in my region not to much used parts and it is unknown what they will be. I don't really want to pay extra money for reinstallation, delivery, plus it will take time and nerves.

Too bad. I love the cornering feeI for what it is worth. Maybe one will show up in a yard.

But i forgot about the transmission and rear end....the 3650 instead of the t5 and the 8.8 rear end instead of the 7.5 are likely heavier in the gt compared to the v6 too.

Good luck with it regardless.
