Curiosity got the best of me and I ordered a set just to see what they were. The wholesaler that ground off "some" of the part numbers went to a lot of work to do this for some unknown reason. Maybe they were part of a tractor trailer heist or something. Who knows. But the manufacturers label under the fake Motorcraft label is Monroe Quick Struts 171369 and 171370. I have KYB's on mine right now, so I'm holding off on installing them. The issue with the KYB's is the springs. They're softer and collapse almost to the point of binding with the weight of the Expy's front end. There's very little travel available before the springs compress completely and you get a knock. The rears are Ok, no issues. Just the fronts. The KYB's do have a larger oil/gas reservoir over the Monroes. But the Monroes copy the factory builds, so they must be good enough. We will see when the motivation hits me to do the swap out.
