    It looks to me that there are 3 different struts available for a gen II prius. OEM, KYB (although those may just be the same), and Monroe Sensa-Trac. Anybody got any opinions on which would be the best struts? Thanks

    I now need to make the same decision. What did you decide on and why? Are you happy with your choice? Thanks

    I think they will both be the same as oem or close enough that it doesn't matter. I put the KYBs on at the same time I did my lowering springs so I cannot comment on any perceived difference between them and the oem struts. I'd just go with the one you find with the best price.
