The Monroe (NAPA) is a quick strut with FE3 springs... so no need to mess with changing out springs. (even though you found them pricey, just figured I would mention that)
I did recently have a set of Ground Force lowering springs put on all the way around... (still using the NAPA/Monroe parts) I let my shop do it. I'm too old to be messing with that stuff these days. Man what a difference in ride and handling those made.

Okay thanks what’s the part number on the Monroe setup you got?
also forgot to mention my shocks aren’t leaking and car doesn’t bounce at all just figure if struts need replaced might as well do shocks too.

I'd have to find old receipts for a part number... and my filing system is "wherever it lands". I had them done a couple of years ago. I went out to my garage hoping to find the boxes for the shocks, but they must have made it out to my shed, or got moved "somewhere else" from where I last saw them... Sorry about that.
I did both shocks and struts at the same time... actually did the shocks myself to save a few bucks, easy deal. I had my shop get them though, when they did the struts so it was a matching set. At the time my original struts were just starting to leak, rear shocks weren't, but otherwise the car drove fine, it wasn't noticeable.
The NAPA stuff is lifetime warranty...

I got my Monroe's from Amazon for pretty darn cheap, cheaper if you get them warehouse. I actually got both of mine warehouse and half off one and 65% off the other, so a really great buy for me. I also installed the Monroe shocks on the back, what a difference.
