      I think Monroe does. So far as pics go....they're nothing special to look at, they're just larger in diameter (the piston is larger, also), and painted yellow like the old Monroe Gas Magnums. I sold a set of the fronts to a kid with a 1969 LTD 2-door (they fit, oddly enough), after he first bought a set of the crummy Monroe Sensa-Crap shocks, and the car handled worse, Hawaii 5-O/Barnaby Jones triple-bounce and all.

      It handled considerably better afterwards.

        hehe... still liking the gabriel ultras from autozone I put on the vic. The grand marquis could stand to have the sense-a-craps replaced that it has, but I'm lazy and they don't double bounce yet. Though considering the lean the car has I'm putting more thought into that front sway bar getting replaced since there's a spot near the right wheel well that is half rusted through.

            If they haven't, maybe I'll steal a set from work and send them to SF10 as door prizes.
