David I put Monroe GasMagmums ~ 34970/Front & 34971/Rear ~ about 22K miles ago & am very pleased with the Ride&Handling. Monroe has a $30 rebate going on a set of 4 that is good through the end of April ~ that's even better than the Buy4 Get1Free rebate that was going when I got mine. I got the Rears @ RockAuto & the Fronts @ OReilly 'cause OReilly had a better price on the Fronts & Monroe didn't care if I bought from different stores ~ thought that was pretty decent of them.
