It will literally make no difference, what made you want to do this?

It’s the shocks and struts that are firmer in the ST. If you swap those it will soften up the ride. I’m actually considering it myself just to see how it feels with the rest of my suspension mods.

Every time I’ve driven a Platinum, it felt no different ride quality wise then the ST.

I’ve never even been in one. Always wondered what 8% difference even feels like.

Felt like nothing, guess one of those things that may have an effect statistically, but through the seat of the pants didnt feel different.
