I've used these before on several cars. They ride just fine but don't last all that long.
Pros: ride just fine
Cons: don't last long
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.
Pros: no problems, top seller
Just installed Monroe "economy" struts from Parts Authority. Its only been a week so far but everything seems to be fine.
Pros: everything seems fine
Mind you this is with new Suplex BBWW front springs and Monroe struts.
Pros: new springs, new struts
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.
Pros: nice handling at first
Cons: too bouncy, like a boat
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Colorado
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
Vehicle:
Lexus
Get Monroe/Gabriel/KYB instead of cheap no name crap like you linked to.
Cons: cheap no name crap
I just got them for my Buick. I would say that they function just as well as stock and the car rides great. They are a TAD rougher than OE, if I turn the radio off they make a bit of strut noise over bumps.
Pros: function just as well
Cons: strut noise over bumps
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
