05 SC Strut Question

I dont Know if this has been covered but it probably has so please keep the flaming down a little some is probably called for but, i have a 05 SS/SC and it has 140k on it. Im in need of new struts. i am looking at doing the CED option of the fe5 package for around 340 after shipping, OR the local parts store has Monroe sensa track struts for about 220.. Now im not going to track or autocross the car at all just a daily and mainly a winter vehicle. I will lower it at the same time with most likely the SSC springs so take that into account.

Just looking for opinions on the route i really should go. i know its only like 100 bucks but i dont want to drop a huge amount of money into the vehicle.

Thank you

Don't do the sensa trac. I made that mistake already. I've had them on for a little over a year and I'm looking at replacing them again.

Why do you want to change? What is wrong with them?

They are getting spongy. I think they are failing.

I've never heard a good thing about the Monroes for our cars.
