It took me only 3 hours to replace and assembly all the parts back to my Prius. Really enjoys on the performance because my old struts almost did not work at all and it's shocking a lot when driving through a tough road. I've also do some research and Monroe should be better for a American car rather than a Japan one like Prius, and KYB perform smooth and better in case of specific Prius and Toyota cars.

I use the Monroe version of these. Not too stiff of a ride but handle the extra weight very well.
They fit! No rubbing anywhere. What a difference. Win, win. Handles just as good, so much smoother.
Monroe Quick Struts all the way man. I sell them daily at work, 99.99% of the time no one has any problems with them. They are the #1 selling aftermarket complete strut assemblies on the market.
Monroe is a long-time name brand and what I buy. They have worked well for me.
I settled for Monroe Quick-Struts which come assemble as front struts. And also bought the Monroe Shocks. At first they felt nice with very nice handling. But I got sick of them being too bouncy. It's as if riding a boat breaking small waves.
I've had so many monroes and gabriels shit the bed i cant recommend them to anyone anymore.
In my house we have two Passat CC, one from 2008 and one from 2010. Both have DCC suspension. Both have the same kilometers (120,000 km) and the same engine, but one of them has a different behavior than the other. It seems that the DCC, the \"active\" part, does not work. When I change from \"Comfort\" to \"Sport\" I do notice that they get harder, but when I enter a roundabout it seems that the outer shock absorbers do not harden. I have changed the 4 shock absorbers for new \"RideSense\" from Monroe, like the originals and the same thing continues to happen. The change between \"Comfort\" and \"Sport\" is also noticeable, but I do not perceive that the active function that regulates the suspension when cornering is working.
Don't buy junk, period. Get Centric or a brand that car manufacturers install on the production line, like Bosch, Akebono, Bendix, Raybestos, ACDelco/Delphi, Motorcraft, Wagner, Monroe.
My experience with Monroe shocks was that "lifetime warranty" means, "for the lifetime of the shock".
