Monroe's weren't great by any means, they were too soft but they kept the suspension from oscillating so they did their job. They could have been a decade old too.
Thats what's in it now. Old ones. They stood the test of time. I'll just buy them again for now. Too many irons in the fire right now.
Found another interesting suspension issue I'm going to start a new post on now. I will stay clear of KYB's thanks for all the replys.
