Thanks to Smithero, Unbroken, F=MA, and others who preceded me in Lowering (H&R Springs), Widening (Bora 1.25"x4), and stiffening (Steeda rear swaybar) my ST.
Just got it back from Springs and bar install, (Did the spacers myself earlier). I know it's dirty, but what an improvement in ride and handling. One of my biggest disappointments
was in how much the ST rocked back when punching it, I swear the front lifted several inches before, Now, No More (well barely any front end lift). It's a sloppy melting snow
all over the roads day, but here's some after pics.

Awesome !! I hear you about the front end lift. In the old days (at the drag strip) we had to use 90/10 front shocks (50/50 rear) to get the front end to lift quickly so as to transfer more load to the back wheels. Took the wife out after the ZFG E50 tune was dialed in and I hadn't installed the H&R springs yet. Upon acceleration the front end jumped up and I swear if the seat backs weren't so tall she would have been tossed into the back seat. So maybe the front end lift was a good thing.

Just a reminder if someone wants to add Bora spacers to thier St (and they do not want to wait a month to get them custom made) I have a brand new set never used (1.25 in rear, 1.00 in front) listed in the For Sale section. I bought them and then decided (while they were being made) I might want to change wheels and tires.
