What is the best quality front strut for the R51 (4WD V8)?

Other than the Bilsteins, because I dont see them as a complete kit with the springs attached on Rock auto or tirerack.
:)

If you want the spring, that'll be a quick-strut. Moog and KYB are pretty similar; I've used both and didn't notice any difference in ride. Some people have used Monroe quick-struts and said the same. I believe all have a limited-lifetime warranty. Personally, I would go with either the Moog or KYB Strut-plus, depending on what was available and least costly through Rockauto.
