xB Mac Phearson Strut options?
I noticed the sticker on my 06 xB says it came with
Sport Tuned Ind MacPherson Strut Front and Torsion Beam Rear Suspension
As I would like to have the softest ride possible,
I'm wondering if there are "non Sport Tuned" available?
Thanks!

konis on the softest setting and less bouny and mocuh more confortable than the stock shocks, and you have the added bonus of adjusting them to the max and getting that really agressive really sporty, harsh ride. If you can care less about the racing side of the shock than go with monroe, much better than stock and WAY cheaper than koni.

Pair of Koni yellow struts: ~$300
Pair of Monroe Sensatrac Struts: ~$100
i ride on monroe struts/shocks and ride comfort is vastly improved. i havent ridden on konis, but i hear they are quality. personally, i never plan on pushing my xb performance-wise so paying for the adjustability of konis is a waste of money.

Swapped the stock XB rear shocks for the Knoi's
Night and Day difference!
On the softest setting the harshness of the stock ride is gone!
I could not find an application for the xB listed on Monroe's website or I probably would have put those on instead;(
Thanks to you all for all the comments!
