    prefab garage over existing driveway?

    I sure appreciate all the comments. We are feeling pretty boxed in by a lack of supply on the market, particularly in the better school districts. (In this area, they are generally either really good or bad--there isn't much middle ground ). Plus its in general not the best time to buy with...

    prefab garage over existing driveway?

    Monroe quick strut replacement strut kits, thoughts on quality?

    Interesting that you ask. I am also curious. I actually just joined the boards tonight and also have an 850 that has some suspension components that are about due. On the plus side, "quickstruts" apparently are also the "sensatrac" variety--that is they have the valves that the ST's do. On...
