Springtech or Monroe??
Need some suggestions/opinions..looking for some inexpensive struts and shocks for my ride .I wanted to post this here since this column is primary for V6 owners,and the handling/ride comfort will be different then the V8 guys.So I wanted to see if anyone has this springtech shocks on their ride or the sensatrac shocks to get some feedback on the performance/handling etc.I am considering the springtech set up since the deal is better but want to see if someone with a V6 and has these will send me some opinions?thks

I replaced m shocks with Monroe's when I got my car but I recently got some Bilsteins for the rear and the ride quality and handling got much better.

Re: Springtech or Monroe??
What kinda of warranty and where is the best place to check out the best deals on these brands of struts and shocks?I lowered my rear about 2 inches due to a larger tire and kept the stock front tire size,to level the car out and the ride is harsh, I know the shocks are blown.This is a daily driver no racing of any kind or hard corning.Just get me to work and back.May I ask what did you guys pay for the set you have in your rides?Thanks for the replies guys.
