Ahhh, Matt, any advice you happen to receive might be applicable to
my Windstar. The stock stuff seems to go limp at about 45-50k.
Guess what? Yup. Well, I still want a cloud-soft ride, minus
the oscillation. And I remember in my youth (late '70s) getting
Monroes and wondering afterwards if the shocks really had been
changed, maybe they're better now, but I dunno. Plus, I did just buy
Tokicos for the MR2, tires are next, so every penny has to pull its
weight...
