        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.

                                                                                        ORR ~ DeanB
