I am looking at replacing front struts with mounts on my daughter's 08 civic. I noticed the one can buy everything pre-assembled with coil and mounts. I am use to compressing and the like. I would like to save time and this sounds like a time saver. Amazon has the DTA 70166 Full Set if I want to include the rear. Any recommendations are appreciated. She is a daily driver/teacher and and on the road a couple times a month, so sport performance is not the thing in this case.

 

I believe those are called quick struts. If you want a hassle-free experience, go for it. I replaced the front suspension on my brothers Acura TL recently and he went cheap and asked me to swap the springs over - Let's just say I will not go down that route again. Took a lot longer to swap everything over than I expected.

 

I personally don't like quick struts, cause, well, the springs are cheap quality on them usually, but hey, they do work like a charm.
