bringing this back from the dead with another update.about a year ago i had new lowering springs installed.while my fronts were being reassembled my mechanic snapped the big strut bolt.my only option at the time was to have both front struts replaced with stock replacement Monroes.the rears were stock with 30,000 plus.fast forward to now it seem ride quality deteriorated everytime i got into car.it sucked.so i finally bit the bullet and went for Tokico blues as a birthday/Xmas present.well got thecar back andthe ride is 100 percent better.no longer does it have that loose feel.I still get an occasional noise here and there from a big crack in road or pothole but i guess thats just the way its gonna be ,its not a Cadillac.so to soum up over the past 1.5 years I have replaced just about every major component in the front end.
