    After putting a few hundred miles on them, they have settled to what seems to be a little below where the OEM ones were, just judging by the amount of additional rub I have now when I turn the front wheels.

    Edit that. I just measured them out of curiosity. They're equal to or 1/8" lower than the OEM struts. They seem to handle fine, although it's still hard to say with the crappy roads we'll have until about April.

    Were yours genuine Monroe Quickstruts? Just curious because the parts guy I bought these through told me the economy line he carries on hand is well known for raising the vehicle and NOT settling. In fact, he cited one example in town that used the lower end brand (chinese made) and they're still riding high.

    Yeah I bought the Monroe's from Advance Auto..PN 171661, the fronts are listed at like $199 each I got them for $178 with the discount I can get from my friend, but yeah I don't really know whats going on with them, maybe a winter of pothole roads will break them in They have settled slightly but not to where I would have thought......BTW did you ever figure out what you're clunk in the rear was?

    I think MOOGs are a little taller then stock. Dont they only sell the HD springs that used to come on the intrigue.
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them
