Monroe Quickstruts

Buy one get one free at Canadian Tire. Its time to swap mine out.
Has anyone here had a good experience with them,Or Are they not worth it even when one is free?

I have heard that the springs that come with the Quickstruts do not have the same characteristics as the stock springs mounted on the original struts. The car allegedly feels "different" after installation, handling wise. Whether that is good or bad is, I suppose, as matter of opinion.

My Canadian Tire said the ones for the HHR were a 'special order'and thusly not eligible for the special offer. I would be cautious, expecially since my 4 month old Monroe rear shocks are already starting to leak, and they resulted in a rather bouncey ride. Not impressed at all with their products.
