Picked up a 03 MGM LS with 86k about a month ago. I'll be looking to figure out how to get rid of the floaty ride and firm it up a little. Bang for your buck will be to go with CVPI spec KYB Gas-A-Justs. Kills the float but still rides pretty good. _________________________ -Steve 2006 Audi A6 ~132k miles, stock. 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis LS HPP ~100k miles, slowly acquiring modifications. 1997 Town Car Cartier ~145k miles, Ported Plenum, Gutted Airbox, Contour E-fan Retrofit, Dual exhaust with Magnaflows, cats deleted, MSD Ignition, KYB Gas-A-Justs, P71 front bar, air ride reinstated, Projector retrofit, Caddy 4-note horn retrofit, Wood rim steering wheel retrofit, holistic weight reduction as the parts fall off.. 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis GS 117,485mi.
