New struts

[bojans]

Anyone have any experience with the Monroe Quick-Struts? They are full bolt in assembles for the struts, no need to swap any parts over to the new strut. Figure this could be a real time saver not having to run all 4 struts to Napa and wait for them to swap the springs. Just curious if they perform well.

It's time vs money vs ability:
-If you have the know-how and stones, get a set of loaner spring compressors from the store when you buy the struts and do it yourself. No time wasted, and you save money.
-If you don't trust yourself dealing with springs, but have time to wait, you can still save money letting the shop swap the springs.
-If you really don't have the time to wait for the swap, you can get the Quick-struts. But there is a price premium, and you are throwing away good original springs (?).

I used them on my 1999 ford escort. The bigest benefit is time savings and all the parts are new ie spring, strut, and bearing. It is the best way to go
