Monroe Quick Strut....Opinions?

[joshsquiresmi]

I need new struts on my 93 3.2 ATX SHO....what are your opinions on them? Any idea where to get them the cheapest? Locally I can get them at Advanced Auto for $140 a piece, is this a good price? http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...onroe_15930073-P_50_R|GRPSHOCAMS_891899360___

I think your car will ride decent with them but it may have a high stance. Advance Auto most likely has the best price except for Rock Auto but they will **** you in shipping. Try to get the prices from Rock Auto and see if Advance will price match I had a manager at Advance near me say he would price match anything so you never know.

ok thanks a lot

i just checked out rockauto and they are only charging me like 18 bucks for shipping...so it comes to under 240 for 2 of them. Advanced is 280......so if they will match prices too...that would be sweet as shit.

Also be aware of the discount that people post for rockauto.com, typically 5%.

I think they work very well on atx cars. They will make the front of the mtx sit too high.

I have the quick struts with Eibachs on them. I think it rides pretty good. But yes for an atx they should do nicely.

Be sure to get yourself new pinch bolts front and rear, they don't come in pairs, make sure you get all 4. As much as you can try to soak the bolts in PB Blaster. Have some heat on hand to help if you get a pinch bolt stuck. Not very much fun to have to drill out a pinch bolt.

Good luck with that job.

Have had them on my '89 for 1 1/2 years, like/em and no probs. Does make the rear about a 1/2" higher, but that's a good thing on an '89 with aftermarlet 16's.

I've used them on my previous 94 ATX, and my wifes 2001 chevrolet malibu, both I had to warranty out due to bad upper strut mounts within the first 6 months. The second sets I received have been fine (at least for the Malibu which we still own). I put them on my old SHO because the springs had broken LF and RR , and the malibu needed struts and N body GMs have a history of broken springs due to rust, so I replaced them as preventative maintenance.

I'm thinking about putting these on my 90. The rear of mine sags, which is typical.

Yeah, they do sit alittle front and rear.... thanks to the Moog coils. Other than that, they work pretty good, with Eibachs also!

i dont have the quick strut set up (all inclusive spring/strut/mount etc) but i have the monroe sensatracs with eibach springs and it rides great. I assume the quick strut set up is just sensa-trac struts with cargo coil springs right? i've heard of people taking off the dead coil on the monroe springs, but this would amost defeat the purpose of buying the quick strut for its drop in drop out ease.
