    Used Monroe sensatrac struts

    I have a set of 4 monroe struts for the 3g. They had been on my lowered (1.5 inch) car for about a year. These struts are not meant for lowering springs and I cannot guarantee how much longer they will last. But the strut rod does rebound when pushed down and they do not have any visible leaking/damage. If you really need struts, these will probably do fine. Pics upon request. Make offer.

    I can check on shipping. I'll get back to you. And I do believe they are gas charged.

    They are gas charged and have lifetime warranty. I have a set on my car that have been on for five years. I wonder how tough it would be to get warranty replacement struts from a second hand set...

    I *might* have the receipts but probably not. They weren't so hot on a lowered car, though, but it's tolerable since i had them for a year. Maybe I'll take the set back and see what i can do.

    Its wierd, but true. Dont ask me how, i just installed them new when i got the springs 4 years ago. The only other people on this board that know how it rides is Jared and Juan, ask them. I like these shocks, especialy cuz they are dirt cheap.

    Well, you'd hit a bump in the turn and the whole car would get realy bouncy and you'd start sliding a little bit. Not very confidence inspiring.

    They're just soft from the factory. I'll see if I can't get the warranty replacement though because i think they're supposed to be stiffer than they are. And I was running them with H&R springs..had about 15-17k miles on them.
