And they also mentioned an aftermarket kit that they installed once on a customer's car that removed the SLS and added shocks/springs.

Now maybe if I drove in one of these that had a fully fuctional SLS I might agree that it is a nice thing to have, but given this situation, if the shocks and springs are good and sturdy, what would the problem be?
