How do I know what type of shocks/struts I have?
My Bonnie rides like the Chrysler in B52'* "Love Shack" song -- "I got me a Chrysler that'* as big as a whaaaaaale."
I'm ready to replace the shocks.
The owners manual says nothing about electronic ride control, self-leveling, air adjust, etc.
How do I determine what I have? Do I have to replace with exactly the same?
www.rockauto.com shows several configurations and I am confused.

You don't have ELC or CCR on an SE. You have to decide if you want a refreshed OEM ride, or to stiffen it up with better response.
What are you after? And all 4?

Run from Sensa-Tracs, they are junk after 2 years.

(I can tell the struts are firmer, however, they are nowhere near the firmness of most new cars.)
They ride is reminiscent of a new 1985 Buick as opposed to a new 2003 Audi. Unfortunately, there are few choices for the H-Body. Good luck...

Try the Monroe Reflex next time. With them on the rear, after updating all my swaybar links, it solved ALL my rear end sway and boatiness. The car used to rail, now it REALLY rails.

All Monroe struts are Gas. Regardless of whether they're also ELC compatible or not. ELC is for leveling, the gas is to control rebound. Although the ELC does help with rebound also.
