Cons: clearance issues
Part number: 58640
Also "rebuilt" the steering rack with brand new inner and outer tie-rods, used a wire wheel to get all the grime off and threw a coat of black Epoxy paint plus the car came with a bag of Poly bushings so I utilized the Poly steering rack bushes.
Pros: new tie-rods, poly bushings
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mind you this is with new Suplex BBWW front springs and Monroe struts.

I have bought Monroe struts for a toyota from rockauto, and swapped out the strut bearing and coil (With a spring-compressor) for the front. Everything was peachy until it got cold outside (40s) and the front right started clicking (not clunking!).
Pros: decent price, easy install
Cons: clicking when cold
Vehicle:
Toyota
I put the Monro-matics on my 99 es300 a few years ago, one winter later I was back to replacing them. Monroe is generally my go to brand, but I will no longer buy their economy line.
Cons: short lifespan, low quality

Lexus
Get Monroe/Gabriel/KYB instead of cheap no name crap like you linked to.
Cons: cheap no name crap
