Yes, but it's like a step backwards from SC FE5.

What does that mean I'm a total noob with suspension. So it will raise the height? Or lower quality?

Lower quality, yes.

KYB or TC FE5 setup would be a better way to spend money. I don't have any experience with the KYB stuff, but people on here will be able to tell you about it.

They don't determine height..... springs do.... U want to go lower? Get sportlines or H&R
U want a nice drop but not too much, get scc cm... U want 4by4 status... Get LS cobalt springs

struts dont determine ride height. springs do.^^^^ its an echo!

Monroe are cheap and stock dimensions. LNF TC struts and shocks from CED are you best bet.

I JUST bought kyb's from tirerack. Probably not the best but better than Monroe. Plus about $30 cheaper apiece than Monroe or AC delco. I wanted to stick with fe5's but a bit outta the budget since I had to get other things also.

Yes only ones CM sells but if u really want quality and a nice ride, get YYZ's like mr.Powell suggested, a little over 300 but definately worth it according to many members.

I dont think KYB are bad at all. The TC struts from CED have the best damping of the stock replacement stuff out there. We have race damping curves being put into Koni's now, it is only worth the expense if you are seriously tracking your car to win...

Yyz's don't lower that much, don't worry, I'm sure mr.Powell has all the specs.

Height is dependent on your springs....
