For a couple of years I've been reading on this site about how big a difference shocks made on an ST. Alot of testimonials about how much the ride and handling improved, to the point that I was becoming skeptical.
Well..I had a Sears rebate card from a recent washing machine purchase and this Sunday the paper contained an ad showing no installation fees PLUS a rebate on Monroes, etc. at Sears. The planets were in alignment so I decided to get new Reflex shocks.
Amazing. What I thought was hyperbole was actually accurate. I kept waiting for the truck to oscillate over a bump like I was used to, but it wouldn't. The speed bumps at my daughter's school would normally send my Trac rocking like a small boat in a big storm...not any more. The ride is a LITTLE stiffer, but not too much. The bounce, however, is so much better.
Had my car in and out in 2 hours (just enough time for lunch), and now all I have to do is send in my rebate paperwork. All in all a very good investment.
