    I have KYB Strut-Plus assemblies and Michelin LT Defender tires. I 'feel' the road much more than the mushy stock setup. Probably more like an F-150. I am happy!

    What did you do to the expy today

    Recently replaced all shocks with KYB Strut-Plus assemblies, Michelin Defender LT tires. Feels like it has a stout stance and NO bounce over ****** railroad tracks.
