I hear you on that, my brother owned the car for 15 months & 10,000 miles, I knew his commute, all bad roads in northern NJ......when I removed the passengers side strut it just flat out fell apart. I drained nearly all the oil in both as the replacement KYB's didn't need it so I got out what I could. This car went from wanting to flip over like a turtle around any turn to flat as a pancake with the new strut cartridges and the factory front strut tower brace (correct for the convertibles). MAJOR improvement all around.
I will say though, this car has the FE-3 ride, and my white 1996 CS has the FE-1 and has variable effort steering. My white 1996 also has the exact same front and back ST braces like the FE-3 car. Hands down the white car is riding and handling better than the 1994 FE-3 car. Tighter and smoother. Perhaps 15,000 miles less on the white car (and it was probably driven much easier before I bought it with 58,000 miles back in 2017), they are similar cars with a very different ride. My white 1996 (3.1) handles excellent at 85-90 but the motor hates that speed, whereas the 1994 (3.4) eats those speeds right up but man, I've got to work on the front end a bit.
Right now my choice for the Olds Nationals this July is the white car, getting 32 mph assists that call.
