Quickstrut replacement similar to stock FE3?

[Metal Links]

Looking to replace the struts on my 04 that I already changed to the 97-03 style sway bar on so I don't need the attachment point. Does anyone make a quickstrut replacement similar to stock FE3 or FE4?

The best you'll get out of a quick-strut is similar to FE2.

If you feel like spending a little bit and going a little lower, ZZP does sell drop-in lowering spring/strut combos that come pre-assembled. And you can even go for the AGX's since you have the earlier sway bar design.

Fck No.

I saw an 04 cross traffic that must have just put new quickstruts in front but not in back. The front must have easily been 4 inchers higher than the back.

Just swap the parts. Once you do it, you will see how easy it is.
Then you can pick between FE3 or AGX and not throw your money at something that will be embarrassing to drive.

I used the OE GM front FE3 springs and struts. On the rear Monroe sells a FE3 OE spec quickstrut. I called and they said it is specific for the sport/ FE3 model. I used them and have the same ride height and they still feel fine after several years. But there are better performance options. I would stay away from KYB GR2 I had several blow out in little more than a year.

Well no sht man.
How did you come across the oem style FE3s. Not like I would buy them.
I can't have the stock ride height

Actually, I found Moog police/taxi quickstrut. I assume they are the FE4 used on Monte Carlo SS and police pursuit packages? They should fit and not have funky ride height, right? Part #ST8558
