Anyone have their stock front springs/struts?

I'd be interested in buying a low mileage/late model set of front springs/struts. I have a feeling I'm going to find a cracked spring when I take these apart to replace. I was happy with performance of oem shocks/struts...just now at 120k and they're getting a bit bouncy. So if you still have yours and they're low mileage I'd be interested in them.

I have the front and rear springs, but I'm not sure if I kept the Rancho shocks or not. Should be pretty low mileage as it was one of the first things I replaced. I have all that juicy info at home, so I'll look first chance I get if you are interested.

Yeah let me know. I did find these: Monroe Quick Strut complete

If those are OEM quality that might be the best deal going.

You can get a better price for the Monroe Quick-struts at Rockauto.com. For two Monroe 171103 Quickstruts, using 5% discount code "2355848321758144," it's $226.95 including shipping.

That seems like a fantastic deal. I tried getting on rockauto earlier and the site was down. Thanks for the code. Reviews seem pretty good for the sensatracs.

The Monroe might be worth a shot. I have Monroe shocks on the rear, although they don't look anything like the ones from the Monroe site (probably don't make that model or size any longer). Great shocks for the rear.

I checked and I do have the OEM Rancho front struts and all 4 springs. I pulled them off at 7,000 miles.

I think for the price of the monroe complete package, I'll just go that route. I was expecting to spend $500+ and still have to pull the springs. This is just too easy. Thanks for looking though.

No problem. I'd do the same. Let us know how they are once installed.

8) Great to know there's Quick-Struts for the Path. I was looking for a one for my Eclipse, but unfortunately they don't make one :(
