    Yes you can run the Bilsteins with your stock springs. But you cannot run the Rear Nivomats. BTW, these componants are matched, but you'll be fine with just the front swap.
    From wild to extra wild we got you covered with crap ya never knew you needed.

    I'm not sure what the SRT struts costs, but KYB makes a replacement strut for the LX, and for ~$48 a piece.

    thanks for the help guys! I need to get rid of the "marshmellow affect" in the front.. but the ride height is fine for me.

    I will look into the KYB struts. thanks

    The SRT combo will only drop your front 1/2" and will really make a huge difference in handling.

    Dude STAY AWAY FROM KYB.....they sucked for my mustang and my wifes Saturn they will surely suck at taking away the marshmallow affect on these heavy cars....go with the full SRT swap

    I'm running the front and rear SRT struts/shocks with the stock RT springs absolutely no problems! If you do it , the Hotchkis sway bars are the icing on the cake. My gut tells me that the RT springs will give you a slightly better ride but the sways really tighten up the cornering. Yes, I have the rear Nivomats.

    I was planning on getting my hands on front SRT struts to add to my RT. I already have Eibach front and rear sways, and because of my driveway, I cannot go too low, so springs are out of the question and coilovers are not in the budget yet.

    Cool, so have you noticed any additional wear on the Nivo's. I only ask, because they would take up the loading normally carried by the spring. And the RT spring is much softer. No leaks or anything huh??. If all is good, that's for the info. I figured for sure, it'd wear the shock out early.
