That would work, as you probably knows, both my front struts are still good, currently got 62,800 miles on them, and we are pretty close, we can probably meet half way in San Clemente or some place like that. I will be doing the swap in the next 2 weeks or so, let me think of a fair price for them, what do you have in mind?

Let me join in the chorus of owners who LIKE the air ride. Coming from an 06 Infiniti M35 I have had no steering problems as described in this thread. In fact my steering wheel doesn't move at all when driving in a straight-a-way. Borders on effortless when compared to the M35. Have not experienced any drifting whatsoever.

i know for me that the road has a lot to do with it. on my daily commute half the roads are severely curved for the rain to run off i guess. and the highway roads that are not severely curved have big ruts or gully type things from all the semi's driving on them repeatedly so i constantly bounce from the right to the left when i get stuck in these things. but when the road is flat and straight then i have no issues at all. when i had my 20's i thought this was the issue for the longest time but stock 16's do it too.

Make sure who ever aligns the LS with Air does it to "Air Spec" if is has air and not the W/out Air Spec. They are VERY Different - The toe will be off and the LS will be all over the road.....

Sorry but you are very wrong. The Toe is different with "Air Ride Spec" versus Regular Shock Spec. The car will "dart" (dive from left to right depending on surface) all over the place if aligned to the non air ride spec. I know as the Tire Shop where I go has made the mistake twice since I have owned my UL with Air. The first time it happened, I took it straight the dealer and the Master Tech and I drove it. He diagnosed it in a second. It is all over the road when misaligned.
