As I mentioned in another thread, I thought I would try some mods on my current car vs buying a new one; Well I am trying new shocks and front end alignment to see how the car rides then. I am looking at 79100 on the Odo and
I am noticing some suspension wear so. We'll see what comes of it all after completed. $900 for the ball of wax hope it makes some noticeable change 900 beats the 9000 for a diff car.

No upgrade just replacement with Monroe quick struts. Just want to replace the worn shocks with something that actually works, as of late, I noticed the bumps becoming more noticeable and "bumpy". So I guess you would say OEMs then

Well I got the car back and I love the ride solid,stable and I feel the road again. Well worth the $900.

Yes I had it done at a shop and from what they were telling me, the front ones did come with the springs as you described and the rear had shocks. All I know I was looking at the bill and labor for this was @ 300 which if I had the equipment/know how and a little warmer weather I may have considered doing myself. A;ll I know the ride of the car has been a "sticking point" with this car and it seemed to change aI was just curious to see if this would get it back to a ride I enjoyed again and it seemed to and it was 900 to see if I still interested in keeping the car also. Better feel of the road/handling made it worth my while.

Today going to work, was the first real day I have driven the car since the replacement and the feel was what I hoped for: not only did it handle the potholes/bumps better but I could feel the speed much better and I didn't find myself driving overly fast when just trying to do 35. This more than not was what I was hoping for not to say the car doesn't move but it takes a little more incentive to really get moving.
