13 +PP SHO rear shocks

[Sgtmeatsauce1]

I just got new front struts, MC PP struts for 2013, sag on springs are fine, 61,000 on the car's OEM suspension. Looking at rear shock replacement, not many options for the +PP 2013 SHO. So, choice to match the MC front struts?... just get MC PP rear shocks or these HD for Police Interceptor, which look meaty and accompaning description reads really nice. Anyone have opinions or past experience?

Those Monroe’s are very likely what I’ll be using when I change out the struts and shocks

I just got new front struts, MC PP struts for 2013

- I was wondering what kind of struts you used, I will be honest I don't know what "MC PP" are, this is a pretty hot topic that comes up often so I am wondering what you end up putting on the rear, Keep us posted.

GOT IT! Yea I think we have the only car in America no one makes a decent set of performance shocks for, (except for coil overs). I keep hoping I will run across a crazy cool hack, like no one knew before the shocks for this car also fit a Taurus, Keep us posted.

ZSHO recommended I stay with the Motorcraft PP shocks to match my MC PP struts. Currently I will probably take his recommendation unless something changes my mind. I do carry alot of weight in trunk, including loads of firewood so I was thinking the HD meaty shocks might be good. I just don't want a weird mismatched suspension issue since I would have to live with it.....everything for me is a cost vs ? Option...
