Monroe Struts any good ?

looking to upgrade my stock front suspension only since mine is getting broken with age

good deal on Monroe's shocks and struts at canadian tire right now so wondering if anyone has experience with them

not looking to lower so i am not replacing my springs, just want to replace stock struts with something similar for cheaper than going to the dealership

any suggestions?

Tokico blues. if you could also find free/cheap SE springs, you'll have an excellent ride and handling.

to start with the ride on my 95 gxe was stiff and bumpy when I got it w/60k on it. so i thought new tires would help, they did , a little. then i put new sensatrak struts on all around w/new mounts & bearings up front. to me it's just a little better than original, had to play w/tire pressure to get that little bit of smoothness, if you can call it that. i'm not a fan of this car's suspension compared to my '87 se that was ADJUSTABLE, those were the days.....oh well.
