Do yourself a big favor and don't try to tear down and rebuild the front struts just to reuse the spring. Just buy the KYB loaded struts. It's just not worth the hassle.
I had my mechanic install Monroe struts on my 2013 CR-V before I sold it and purchased my 2021 Avalon. Monroe struts noticeably improved the ride of my CR-V and I highly recommend them.
I put a set of KYB on my 2007 nearly a year and 11,000 miles ago, no complaints so far. They feel comfortable enough to me.
Just did Monroe quick struts on my Avalon had a blown stock strut didn’t even have to think about which brand to pick.
Bought KYB’s from summit racing and did the job for under $300 parts.
I have 2013 accord cp and replaced all four struts from monroe (oespectrum) with the stock spring. The ride is comfortable but the suspension feels abit busy on harsher road conditions.
I ordered up bare kyb excel-g struts. Went ahead and installed them. But the ride is harsh. I'd say ride quality is a 3 out of 10 in town 5 out of 10 on the highway. I think the new struts are acting fine. It's just the springs are so tight and don't allow any forgiveness. The handling is great around the corners.
I went with all KYB on my 07. I don’t like them. I feel like they are much stiffer
I put KYB on my 2010 and it road very harsh. Then I put the on my 2016 still harsh but a bit better
I’m late to the thread but those looking for answers I do not recommend Monroe. Grabbed both of the ones listed here and lasted me all of 30,000 miles and that’s me being generous. I recommend motorcraft as that’s oem and not much of a price difference
