And Monroe redesigned them to suck even more than they did before... ."

That wouldn't make for much of company Mission statement methinks..

Regarding this statement:

But then what do I know. I'm the guy driving with Monroes concentrating hard to keep his brick between the painted lines until I can afford real shocks. Let us know what you decide on and what you think about them.

The struts on my '89 have never been replaced and I am noticing the same effect you describe. The rebound dampening has deteriorated on mine (seems even more than compression)so I notice body roll.

I also notice the "keeping the car between the lines" syndrome but I wonder if that really is related to worn struts.
