If you got monroe shocks from advanced/oreilys take them back. I put those on a couple months ago and they suk just as bad as everyone has mentioned on many forums. I can't wait to replace these soon with some tokicos.

A Mustang is a performance car, it needs a good quality sport shock to handle properly.
Installing cheap shocks will be a mistake.

If using an air or electric impact wrench, replacing rear shocks only takes maybe 10 minutes to install both sides.
