Not long after I purchased it I put all new Bilstein PSS9 struts on and about a year after that I completely refreshed my front suspension (control arms, tie rods, end links, strut mounts, etc.).
I like the bilstein setup better.
I have an 84 gti running Neuspeed sport springs. I just swapped out my Bilsteen strut inserts for Bilsteen struts. It's a nice tight and somewhat low setup.
Fair price for paying a shop to replace your OE struts with Monroe OESpectrum quickstruts.
Monroe is usually pretty good aftermarket but Motorcraft is owned by ford and is likely the most similar to what’s already on the vehicle for ya. It’s no race car or anything I would say the Monroe quick struts would be just fine! They’re still a big brand and for stock replacements I’ve never had a complaint
My 2012 had about 95k miles on it when I replaced the struts this past December. I went with Bilstein B6s and have been happy with them.
I went from Sachs to B6 just in the front and it’s meh.
Monroe oe-spectrum are decent. The el-cheapo monroe-matics are just that.
In 2018 I installed Bilstein B8 struts/shocks with vogtland springs on my '13. Within the past 2 years, I've started to notice a knocking sound in the front, usually at low speeds and generally when I have passengers, but not all the time.
I ordered Bilstein b4 non sport and had a similar result once installed. It still seems my car was non the sport package but that could be the problem. I had found other threads regarding this issue with B4s and some gas struts. They never really settled.
