Thread: KYB or Monroe

I have looked though most of the threads and havent found much about comparisons on Stock replacement struts and springs for my 2003 SE. I have the common rear sag and the outside of my tires on the front are wearing a bit faster than they should. Quick struts are nice, but i have the tools and the ability to just change the struts and springs and reused the rest. SO..... KYB or Monroe Sensatracs? I am going to use Raybestos Springs all around. This is just my commuter so I am staying with factory hight. Rock Auto has a good deal on all this, I can get all 4 springs and struts for 400 Shipped. Quick Struts all the way around it a little over 600 Shipped.

Handling is not an issue for me with my car now, So Monroe Sensatrac would be my best choice. What about the springs Bio? have you heard or experienced any difference between Monroe and Raybestes Stock Coils.

Strut plates are why the quick struts are more.

Price those out and the quick struts might be worth your time.

Thanks. I know they are more because of that, And I know I will have ALL new rubber and bump stops, and upper plates if I go with the quick struts. not to mention It will only take me 20 min per strut versus 40 min. Since I will have to remove all the old stuff and install it on the new.
