There was some pushback at the parts counter but eventually somebody over the age of 45 agreed to put through the special order at the prices the website quoted.
As for the ride, it feels just slightly better damped than before I swapped the 143k mile originals out so I am not claiming a low-priced miracle took place. |
Strange coincidence. I actually got the sports spring just because of the Monroe "sports" shocks and struts at pepboys. Then when i went to purchase last week they would not sell at the advertised price.
I have a an open Case# with their corporate HQ for Bait-And-Switch. The manager refused to honor the price and then offered a 318Is shock at double.
I emailed the western manager this morning and waiting for a reply.
