I don't know about GmtGmt, but my current shocks are probably original (from 1978!) so even "crappy" monroes will be a step up.
i think mine are original too (1984) leaking and just plain bad

Thanks for the tip

but i have had very bad exprice with Bilstein shocks and struts
my buddy bought some quite expensive once for his car
installed them the front once where so stiff that i could just have installed a pice of iron insted for the strut. the rear bounced like crazy
the car was undriverbell. he bought a lowering kit for it after that that came with some good shocks and struts dont remember witch brand but it was very nice to drive after that

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
