Yeah I did..

It is fun to drive.. Haven't driven a lot yet, but that will change...LOL

It has a hard ride. Think some air needs to be let out of the tires, but it has the stupid TPS sensors

You're going to have to find out how much the TPMS will let you drop the pressure. Front and back on mine is 60 PSI. Doesn't ride like a Lincoln but better than stock.

80 is fine if you're pulling a trailer or have a big load in the box.

Death wobble presented itself when coil overs were introduced.

99 - 04 didn't have it.

VW had the problem with the McPherson strut front end, a larger aftermarket steering damper took care of the problem.
