I've got a 2014 Ford police Interceptor Sedan that was knocking on 140K miles, so I replaced both front struts and rear shocks with Monroe Severe Service, along with swaybar end links front and rear, and rear lateral bars. I finished the install, put about thirty miles on the car to make sure there were no odd noises and left for a 2,000 mile round trip to Vegas the next day.
Now that I'm back from the trip, I can confidently say this: the car handles better in every way. The front sits slightly higher; the headlights were a little low and now they're perfect (I looked for adjusters twice and could not find them). It's easier to turn the steering wheel, the front right strut doesn't clunk any more (the impetus for this suspension refreshening), there's less body roll, the car regains a firm footing almost instantaneously from potholes and bumps, I could go on, but I think you get the idea: all positive and no negative. So far, two thumbs way up.
I've put about 2,200 miles on them. I'll give an update at 10K miles.
