Now the car rides/feels like a 60k car again. For $150 shipped to my door, I couldn't pass up the deal.

Hope that's it. I have gone through a few that leaked, some showed no sign of performance degradation, while others looked fine and where shot.

Glad it's figure out! I keep an eye out for sales, etc, since the struts appear to be a consumable...
