Need some new struts/coilovers for my 2002. Monroe Econo or Sensa?

[kdoggy]

Obviously the Monroe Sensatracs are probably better but if I wanted to do this on a budget, how are the Monroe Econo quick struts?

I can get the Econo's for around $85 each, as where the Sensa's run like $150 with shipping.

I see the Sensa's have a life time warranty, the Econo's are 1 year. Not worried about the warranty as much as what that may say about the quality.

I have a budget of about $400.00 dollars. I can either get 4 new Econo's or replace my back 2 with Sensatrac's. The back end seems to be where I'm getting most of the bounce anyway. I assume I don't notice it in the front because of the heavy ass engine but hey!

Thoughts?

There is little difference; you will be fine going with the cheap Monroe quick-struts.

Well if your shocks are all still the original, you might be better off just replacing all 4 that way you have something new all around. You're only as good as your weakest point as they say.

I wouldn't get the cheapo ones. There is no way they will perform anything like the factory struts and there's definitely a reason they are so cheap. If you have any intent of keeping the vehicle to enjoy for a while get the nicer ones!
