Umm, its pretty necessary when you want to install new struts and your stock springs are FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by rbdelpippin

Yeah the ones I got were for my daily driver - same thing as the econo line. They are stiff but the ride is so much better with new struts and I don't have to worry about my car shaking apart now. Yeah definitely always replace in pairs- or even better all four corners if you can afford. The reason my shop let me get my struts off that website is because they basically copy OEM perfectly (according to my guy at the shop). They came with the strut, spring, and top mounts already assembled.

I just put a complete Quickstrut in the rear of my GTP and it was all complete and easy to do. Took about an hour or so, and most of that was trying to get the holes all lined up again. Took one big part out, put one big part back in.

I can tear my struts out and change the springs on both in about an hour......guess I just have too much experience at doing it lol.

i did it taking my time over an afternoon for all four corners and i was done before dinner time without trying.

This is false. Failure to use a proper spring compressor can result in serious injury or death.

Yup, i know a guy who was using one and the clamp slipped off releasing the spring resulting in a wired jaw! Be careful ppl!!

Wow, KYBs too stiff? I thought when I put all 4 in that they should have been tighter. But 30K miles later, the KYBs are still working great. No sign of float which got me to change the factory struts at 70K.
For the fronts, I ordered all the individual parts but an older GM front drive car I had broke a rear spring at 80K. So seeing the rear springs are prone to breaking, I got the complete assemblies for the rears. Yes they are easy to install as an assembly but cost $40 more per strut.

Guys, are these struts junk? Monroe Econo-Matic Complete Strut Assembly Part No. 181661

Monroe Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly

I've been running them for over a year with zero issue.

I have a complete set of KYB assemblies that I would sell for a good deal. They have less than 500 miles on them. I wanted something more sporty so I got Bilsteins
08-12-2016
How much?

$250 meet near the IN/OH border? They look brand new

Sent you a message

Good deal. If deal falls thru. I'm next, but I'd have to meet at the CA/NV border if cool.
Jk.

I put in the cheapo Unity struts from Completestruts.com tonight. They are solid and heavy, just like the OEM struts. They make the car sit high but it doesnt really bother me. I will post some pics and give a ride report next week after I change the CV Axle. They were easy to install and hopefully they last for a few years. They were awfully cheap (@$230 for all 4).

I bought the Comp G spec (OE spec) monroes for the rear and they ride fine after a year. I had KYB on there and when I took them off to put the new comp g springs and struts back on one front and one rear KYB were blown out. No leak but absolutely no rebound in them. The KYBs were on for about 1 1/2 years.
