Default CATS question

Greetings all,

My 2006 STR is used every day driving through some traffic at mild speeds, averaging 4 sectors per day, about 3 miles each.

Yet, a few times per week I take it on longer drives (about 20 miles, at higher speeds, often exceeding 130 mph.

The suspension though, stays extremely soft considering the required level of stiffness for that kind of speed.

Can anyone advise how the CATS actually operates and if it is possible to stiffen it a bit to ensure better handling at high speeds?

Thanks

The STR, despite CAT's suspension continues to maintain a somewhat firmish-plush ride during high speeds. Replacing the stock springs with H&R Sport lowering springs ($300 U.S.) gives a just right ride height and control in most conditons.

Thanks for the info. I checked out their site and they refer to 2003 STR springs.

Are these OK for a MY2006?

2003 and up all have the same relative suspension layout, so yes theyll fit
