Just installed Monroe "economy" struts from Parts Authority. Its only been a week so far but everything seems to be fine.

So far has worked out great, some models they don't fit because of clearance issues.
Also "rebuilt" the steering rack with brand new inner and outer tie-rods, used a wire wheel to get all the grime off and threw a coat of black Epoxy paint plus the car came with a bag of Poly bushings so I utilized the Poly steering rack bushes.
Mind you this is with new Suplex BBWW front springs and Monroe struts.
i bought some Cheap monroe oem style shocks and i have a nice soft ride for an every day Car.
I went ahead and painted the front calipers red and also put on some new aftermarket stock rotors and Monroe pads.
I have bought Monroe struts for a toyota from rockauto, and swapped out the strut bearing and coil (With a spring-compressor) for the front. Everything was peachy until it got cold outside (40s) and the front right started clicking (not clunking!).
I put the Monro-matics on my 99 es300 a few years ago, one winter later I was back to replacing them. Monroe is generally my go to brand, but I will no longer buy their economy line.
Get Monroe/Gabriel/KYB instead of cheap no name crap like you linked to.
I've never had a good set or known anyone who did. I've had Monroes faill in less than 1k miles on my Rabbit.
