Quikstruts

My struts in the rear of my car are donebar, the rear right one the spring is really terrible and I feel the strut is not far from blowing, and on the rear left everything is blown/saggy/terrible. I was just looking at getting quickstruts to bring tha car back up to stock height (for now possibly? depends what I wanna do with it) I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with the Monroe Quikstruts and the Monroe Econo Matics (quikstruts, just cheaper?). As both are easily available in my town.

IMO, Monroes are terrible. Save your money and get REAL quickstruts... AKA coilovers!!! lol.

Fair. And I've been considering coilovers Razz

hahah. Not sure if it's worth it though.

coilovers are awesome but it depends which ones you go for,
i have g-maxx springs n shocks and mine are very comfortable compared to others to be honest

Yeah, as long as you pick the correct spring rates, and the coilovers have dampening adjustment, you should be good on comfort.

Whats the matter with Monroe quick struts? They seem to be the only quick strut available in Canada. I could get KYB or Tokicos but I dont think they make a quick strut assembly. I refuse to have to buy the shock, spring, mount, bumper and bump stops seperatley.

Rockauto has 3 quick strut assemblies from Raybestos (cheapest), Monroe, and Moog (expensive).

I really like the Moog struts, they sound like they are the most well built, but I have not found any reviews on them (dont think anyone has tried them yet)

Hmm, I can see the Moog struts on rockauto but I can not find them on the Moog suspension website. I even searched the part number with no results. Do they exist or not? lol

I don't think that you should have a problem with Monroes, but generally, you get what you pay for especially with suspension. But, if you're not looking for any increase in performance, and you are looking to get all the bits at once, than the Monroes should work perfectly for you Cool

I just want my original ride back so Ill go for the local Monroe quick struts, unless I find something else which catches my eye study
