Strut assembly Monroe or Sachs

The Sachs come with the performance package. Totally worth every penny if you like to mod, track, and auto cross. The Sachs struts have different valving but much better performance than base suspension setup. They also work great with aftermarket performance springs (RCE Yellows work perfectly with the Sachs). I have a 2018 BRZ with the Performance Package with Brembo brakes and love it.

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

Sachs was the OEM for the struts on my old e39 bmw 528i w/ sports package. I had gotten 60k miles after replacing them before trading the car in.

If they are good enough to be original equipment on a BMW they’re probably pretty good.

Mind you this is with new Suplex BBWW front springs and Monroe struts.

I just got them for my Buick. I would say that they function just as well as stock and the car rides great. They are a TAD rougher than OE, if I turn the radio off they make a bit of strut noise over bumps.

I've used these before on several cars. They ride just fine but don't last all that long.

I settled for Monroe Quick-Struts which come assemble as front struts. And also bought the Monroe Shocks. At first they felt nice with very nice handling. But I got sick of them being too bouncy. It's as if riding a boat breaking small waves.

Monroe struts tend to be of mediocre quality. For standard driving they're ok, but they don't really tolerate lowering springs well.

Monroe is crap quality.

I've had so many monroes and gabriels shit the bed i cant recommend them to anyone anymore.
