Okay, this might be an interesting question...
I'm planning within the next few weeks to do some update work on the front end of my wife's 2003 Cavalier. Right now it looks like quick struts and some control arm brushings.(everything else looks good so far)
My question is if I mix different types of struts (levels) if it will be an issue. I recently put Monroe sensa trac quick struts on the rear. And I'm planning to use AAP and their codes. Though their sensa tracs for the front are pricey. And they do have the econo matic struts for a much better price. And I'm not sure how it will handle, even though this is a base J body with a soft ride set up.
Another idea would be to go with NAPA branded quick struts, which are about the same price (also made by Monroe-but not sure which one it is)
Keep in mind, I want to do it right, but on a budget too. This is an 8 year old car that will soon be my beater, but I would actually like to get a few years out of the parts at least. I'm open to your ideas and comments...
(yes, I know rock auto is cheaper, though I'd rather not ship if I can..)
