Going through all that work just to put old struts {what 50K?) back on.
To top it off handling may decrease due to the stock struts not having the proper valving for the much lower ride height and the fact they are on their last legs to boot. The are guaranteed to fail quickly if not bad to begin with.
IMO it is a lose/lose/lose situation. The third lose is that you are doing it to someone else even! (the wife)
