i still have the stock ones on my car. i cant complain about them. they are decent but i guess it depends on how you want the car to ride.

there are different types that you can look into it depends on how stiff or how soft you want the spring and spring combo to feel. my question is is there a upgrade that you want to do? if you want to have a good stif ride imo is to change the spring and strut at the same time to get a little stiffer ride. but also imo i would get a stb set for it to see how well you like it first to go from there. it will stiffen up the suspention some to help it give a better feel going on and off on ramps and going around corners. but it is up to you i am giving some things to look into. to see where you would like to head there will be some here to jump in to help as well

Thanks John: I was just asking questions. Seriously I'd like a softer ride. I think the struts & spring are original equipment on my Monte. And looking at options..
