Default Suggestions for new struts and springs

I just got the rear springs and shocks done, and now I'm doing the front springs and struts. Are these good for the price?

I can't seem to get links to those pages that work, but I linked to Moog springs ($173/pair) and Monro-matic Plus struts ($91 each).

In the back I got KYB shocks and Moog springs. I like how the back feels now, very solid, but the worn out spongy front makes a weird feel at the moment.

why don't you just go with the same in the front, I have KYB's and love them all around. I think you should stay with what you have in the back. Just my .02.

i have the adjustable kyb's and they're good...i agree with arrow that you should probably use the same brand the whole way around

Thanks for your input, anyone have a link to KYB struts? I can't seem to find them for my car, only shocks.

Edit: I found some, I'll keep looking to see what the best prices are.

When I got my adjustables they were about 100 each from advance auto. Don't know if you got around you.

Keep in mind that you get what you pay for when you're buying shocks. KYB's are crap compared to say a Strano-Specific Bilstein, but they're cheaper. You can get the Strano Bilsteins for about $430 for all 4, and they'll last forever, and out perform everything cheaper than them. Next step up is Koni's, and those are impossible to beat. I would suggest calling Sam Strano and talking to him about suspension for your car, you'll learn a lot in 5 minutes, he is a 5 time national SCCA champ, and a 4 time Pro Solo SCCA champ afterall

Thanks guys, I'll probably go with either the KYB GR2s or adjustables.
