Struts-2003 SLE

[Abbby]

Just checking if anything has changed regarding from struts? I replaced mine around 80,000 miles ago with the Monroe 71685 OESpectrum Premium Strut and they are shot. . I reused the coil spring due to not wanting to change the ride height. Couple years earlier I replaced struts on another 2003 SLE using the Monroe 171685 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly. They have about 90,000 miles on them and are in great shape. Did not use the original coil spring so ride height went up about 1 inch. Is there a better strut assembly? I do not want the ride height to change.

DELCO is your best bet

Those Monroe struts should have a lifetime warranty....if you still have the receipt.

KYB are really good, I like mine. Otherwise there are two Delco options available, one being stiffer than the other. All of them will slightly raise your ride height, even with a stock spring. But not at all as bad as the pre-assembled struts are.

I've used the KYBs on a couple of cars, and have been happy with them. I've also used Moog strut mounts originally designed for a Cadillac, as discussed in this old thread.
