I've mentioned in a few places that I'm going to find out if the strut inserts Koni makes for the SHOs will work in the Gen3 cars. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here is a link to how the conversion is done:

Here is another link to Koni's general instructions:
Bolt in insert instructions from Koni
The short explanation is that you cut the top off the OEM struts, pull the guts out, and put in new guts from Koni. The stiffness is adjustable from daily driving, to butt-slapping hard.
I took some preliminary measurements off my car and sent them to my contact at Koni (Gordon Benson, an extremely patient and helpful person.) It looked good up to that point so I bought a set of donor struts from The Bob, so I can do this experiment w/o tearing the Sable apart.
Here is one of the donor struts:
