MotorWeek's Pat Goss explains how complete part assemblies (Raybestos part examples shown) can make installation easier for do-it-yourselfers with fewer tools to buy. Look for the RockAuto catalog in the background!

Don’t forget to check the RockAuto catalog for the parts needed for your next do-it-yourself repair!

You are better off with the Monroe quick struts. I hear that the Raybestos and Moog strut assemblies use crap struts from China.

You would still need to take the spring off the old strut with the Monroe Quick Struts right?

I try to avoid cheap Chinese parts on my cars at all costs

No! they come completely assembled with the spring already in them. Thye look like this:

All you need to do is jack up the car enough then unbolt the old one and bolt in the new one.

I do not recommend reusing strut mounts, or this could happen (eventually):
