Quick struts are often a compromise on quality of parts used. I have never been a Munroe shock/strut fan, but they are the OEM supplied for the 4C struts on the P2 models. They have lasted reasonably well on our 06 XC70, but they have been replaced due to failure on the car at around 100k miles/12 years. The bigger issue is the quality of the top spring seat. I am not familiar if the seats have the same quality issues many of the aftermarket versions have on the P80/P2 cars.
I would check on the manufacturers' warranty and give it a go.

In the P2 world, Quick Struts by Sachs are great.
Just get Sachs or Bilstein and do it then proper way.
Monroe quality is so so.

A member recently recommended 1AAuto on another post for Quick Struts. I've use the TRQ front struts and rear shocks on our 05 Lexus GS430 and have the adjustable rear camber arm kit on our 08 C30 T5, both from 1A. They have excellent service besides a lifetime warranty and their warranty I believe will refund your credit card rather than hold it as a credit for your next purchase.
