Just an update...
I've been running with the Yellowspeed coil-overs and a replacement S430 power steering pump for about 20K miles thus far and all is well.
Probably one of the only cars that can be rock solid in the corners without any roll bars due to the width and short suspension travel.
Should have done this 150K miles ago.
Besides (not counting the coil-over weight, which I don't know), removing all the reservoirs, radiators, hoses, lines and valve blocks saves > 60 pounds.
PS: Sorry, I sold the Strutmasters on EBay.

3 part video on pump removal
I have three videos about the conversation including the pump to install with new reservoir and and additional magnetic power steering filter to protect that system.
