At your mileage your front struts are toast. Though you might not notice the difference as it's gradual degredation of your ride. You will notice a huge difference when you put new ones in. Check out: http://www.shox.com/appguide/shoxshop/productsdisplay.php
The Koni FSD are the rave on the other message boards. It stiffens on the highway and softens on city streets where there are more pot-holes, etc. Also, right now with free shipping. I know that these aren't cheap compared to the Monroe's but you are after all driving a Volvo, and a T5 to boot (personally I would get these with the Eibach spring kit, but that's me)!
On a separate note, shox.com can also set you up with other components like spring seats, strut mounts, etc. Not on their site, so you'll have to cal them.
