Darn. Well hopefully it isn't that much higher. It wouldn't look bad on a LeSabre, but would on a Bonneville.

Silly question: After you get them installed, you're getting a 4-wheel alignment, right?

Definitely

Whichever way I wind up going, quick strut or regular - definitely getting an alignment.

OK, well, stay away from quick struts - everything I read online was true.

They are a little firmer ride than the OEM struts and do raise the ride height of the car - in my case they raised the front 1.5"

It looks ridiculous.
