I'm looking at replacing my struts. Monroe has a quick strut 171572/571 with lifetime Warranty. KYB has the same type of product Strut Plus SR4038/39 but from what I can see on their website it only comes with a one year warranty, but their regular strut come with lifetime??? Seems odd? Well my question to all of you is what has been your experience with either of these quick struts (has new spring and bearings, plug and play)? Thanks

 

I put in KYBs years ago and they're working fine. But I have a really good spring compressor. Quick struts are much easier to install since you don't have to deal with the spring or mount. Both brands are high quality.

 

Thanks Rick, just ordered the Monroes, only because their Quick Strut comes with Lifetime warranty and also $30 rebate. The KYB Strut Plus like a Quick strut only comes with 1 year??? But what you installed has liftetime. So doesn't make much sense?

Edit 6/26/13: Installed struts, shocks, and stabilizer bushings. Big improvement in the ride. Most of all the clunking is gone. One thing is that Monroes have an lower elongated hole for strut to knuckle. It's for adjusting camber. On Monroe rep said I have to install a camber bolt kit, another rep said not needed if you can get the spec? So taking to the shop for them to figure it out during the alignment.
