Suspension question . . . I recently had a bent . . yes bent strut causing hellacious squeaking noise from the front driver side wheelwell. Anyway I replaced the strut with Monroe Sensa Trak or whatever they are OEM struts. Is there a strut that is any better to purchase that still gives the ride a OEM strut gives? I don't want to stiffen the car's suspension right now. Thanks for the help.

For a 4th Gen F-body they're shocks, not struts.
Yes there are better shocks.
But an F-body is not going to ride like a big 4 door caddy.
However, If an f-body with stock or similar shocks rides like an old worn out pickup truck (and it does)..... a good set of shocks (Bilstein, Koni) will make it ride like a "european sport sedan"

They are shocks, and not struts. I don't know why they're called "Strut Tower Braces".
I don't get it....
