stretch boots look very interesting I'm going to keep them in mind for the future.

I just bought these:

Bearings and spring seats from FCP.

Haven't installed the struts yet so no idea how well they'll perform, but reviews were mostly positive. I'll know soon. They're made in Spain and look well engineered. We'll see.

How did this Monroe strut work out for you?
Anyone else use Monroe?
I'm thinking of doing the same thing with parts from FCP.

These Monroe's are on ebay for $39 each, wonder if they are fakes?

As for Monroe, again Monroe comes in different qualities, for example Monroe 71699 are cheap while the Monroe 71485 are ok (these are for the S60). Both are named OE Spectrum."
Monroe's web site lists only the 71699 for the 850, not sure if the 71485 fits.
Advance Auto lists the 71485 as being for the V60 and not the 850.
