Yup, the Turbo Techs are out of stock, and he said he might do another run this spring if there is enough interest. From what I can tell the car is bone stock, zero mods (maybe a bigger front torsion bar?) a very un-molested car. Which is why I bought it compared to the other 15 or so I checked out over the years in my price range.
The tires are 215/50R17s

Maybe a prior owner upgraded the front sway bar. That could mean other suspension mods. Lowering and leveling springs were particularly popular. They can be stiff.
Rear shocks probably have stickers. Struts might be identifiable too. You can get clues about springs from the paint color and sometimes they have a tag. Maybe post a side shot so we can see ride height, and measure each wheel from hub center the to top of the wheel well.

I believe everything is pretty much stock on it. I don't see any changes or mods at all with it, very "virgin" which I liked. The Sway bar looks new-ish, and I guess is thicker than the normal for the year, that is about it from what I can tell.

17" tires means it is a 2LT
35 lb psi is correct for that tire but as Blue says you can drop it a couple pounds if you check the air properly with an accurate gauge.
The Fuel Fighter is not the OEM tire.
Firestone Affinity was.
ONCE YOU CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL TIRE you are Experimenting.
The wrong choice can make you Crazy.
I would wait for the B/Ordered Turbo Rear Sway Bar.
