Default Has anyone used Monroe OESpectrum struts? Any real life reviews?

I think it's about time to change the struts on my '06 Tc (60,000 mi). I've read numerous reviews about TRD's Koni's and Tokico's but none about the OESpectrum.

My goal is to get a slight increase in handling without giving up any comfort. Reliabilty and longevity is a high priority, as well as keeping a lid on cost.

I've installed a new Monroe strut/spring combo on all four corners of my fiance's 98 Camry LE. They've been on for about 10-15,000 miles now without any problems. Then again, it is a different car. Since it sounds like you are on a budget, I would say go with KYB as well. I'm currently using KYB struts with Eibach Pro-kit springs. I've had them on for about 25-30,000 miles now without any problems. As a side note, KYB provides a lot of of shocks/struts as OEM for various car manufacturers. If you're going to be just using your stock springs, I wouldn't hesitate going for KYB.
