2004 Buick LeSabre - New struts, now I don’t like the ride

No he doesn’t need the springs as well nor does the rear of the car have struts. So no strut mounts to change, no springs to change only the shocks.

I agree with @oldtimer-11, replace with OEM, not Monroes. If thecar had the “soft ride” package, the replacement shocks are $155 each from Rockauto compared to $53 for a pair of Monroes.
