Default Monroe Sensa-trac front struts with lowering springs...

Why is it that no one uses these? Most use the rear shocks for a better ride, why not the fronts? thanks! :D

I have the Monroes all the way around and love the newfound comfortable ride it has now. I'm back on stock springs till I get some H techs.
These Monroes were one of if not the best bang for the buck mod one can do to there xB if a confortable ride is desired.

Are the Monroes considered replacment shocks/struts or are they for lowered springs?

They are great replacements and also work with lowering springs just fine. I would not try to go lower than 2 inches tho when using these struts and shocks just to be safe. Anything lower than that you should be using coilovers anyway.
