I know it's tough call, because of price. I replaced the struts as soon as I bought it 3 years ago and they were shot. Got Monroes just for that reason, smoother ride. I wanted Koni or Bilstine that would give me more of the Honda like handling, but ride would of been even harsher. I heard Crown Vics had a trany problems, do the Grand Marquise and Town Car share the same issues? I also looked into getting very old Mercedes like 560 or 420 series from the 80s, but a lot of them are beat up and I think they require a premium gas too. I like Infinity Q45, but they are not that reliable unless you get into 97/98 range and that gets me out of my price range and again the premium gas issue. That leaves me pretty much only with the Town Car I guess.
