if you’re on a budget go with ST, BC or even just the tried and true bilstein struts with H&R springs
Monroes will be fine.
I've replaced/upgraded the rears with loaded struts from Monroe which brought back a nice bounce in the rear end.
I got Monroe quick struts and they've been great so far.
Bilstein struts, Lovells springs. Perfect combo.
Nice, I like the Bilsteins they do feel better than stock but it does feel like it's missing something.
Be careful if you buy rebuilt Phaeton struts. I haven't found any that mention rebuilding the dampers (shocks). They check them and repaint them and put new air bags on them. You can buy new air bags and swap them yourself for less money.
Also Monroe easy struts are shit. I regret installing them. My brand new ones make creaking noises, have lower ride height, and bottom out on big bumps.
It’s pretty high, also I don’t like those quick struts from Monroe.
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
