Has anyone used the fully assemble strut kits from Monroe on an ES300? I don't have the tools to disassemble the struts from the springs. Any help would be apprciated.

Thanks

Quick Struts come as a complete unit including the mounts (also known as upper insulator among other things) what part are you thinking of?

Rockauto.com usually has the best prices on Quick Struts.

I purchased/installed the Monroe OE Spectrum struts with the Toyota strut mounts... My front end is quiet and comfortable.. I'm a happy customer

I put Monroe quick struts on my ES300's front. They work fine. And easy to swap out.

Bumping this, since i'll be getting the four quick struts, and there is a 150$ rebate when you buy 4 quick struts in the month of October [Can & US]

Locally, the cheapest was 240$/corner. Rockauto gets them for ~145$/corner & 55$ shipped to NY and i'll pick them up.

Big price difference, i went from 1100$ with tax vs. 640$ shipped & no tax since they don't charge taxes; before rebate! So i'll have a nice new set for less than half of local...

I hope the car will feel nice & firm again after 130k on it!

Quick easy way to change Oem spec suspension. However some premium brands of strut and spring combo will give better performance

Who makes stock height springs for the ES? I'd like it firmer than it is but not IS stiff... keeping in mind I'll probably be using KYB struts...

^^ next to no one. Aftermarket is all lowering springs, from what I've looked thru. Oem Spec is limited to eBay brands, and monroe.

I went with KYB fully assembled struts for the front on my 97. They are better quality than Monroe. I got them from Amazon for $186 a piece with free shipping.
