Thanks for the reply!You could look at the part numbers on rockauto and maybe figure it out.
If it were me I'd return both and get a set of KYB struts. Monroe are complete garbage in my experience. KYB makes the oem shocks/struts.
Take a look here my Canadian brother! I went with tein street advance z cuz it was the same price as Monroe all the way around. Free shipping Canada wide tooThanks for the reply!
That's what I did to start, I compared them to the numbers and pictures of the same parts on rock auto and ebay, which leads me to believe the yellow one is for a sedan while the black is for a coupe. I was just hoping someone might have some first hand experience as Canadian tire is selling the 2 interchangeably it seems, also I'd love a set of KYB but unfortunately they're too expensive to have shipped to me and there's no where local that sells the full assembly. (Nova Scotia, Canada)
The link I shared you is for KYB and free shipping in Canada... Also I would strongly recommend against buying used suspension from the wreckers. You have no way of testing it before hand and will have gone through the trouble of swapping your whole suspension just to find you got shafted by Billy Bob down at the happy goose valley wreckers.
Lolol that's what I'd be worried about buying used, but that's not really an option in my area anyway as I've only got 1 junkyard somewhat nearby and they don't have a single 8gen coupe. Even if they did the only low milage cars that typically go to junkyards around here are smashed beyond recovery which usually also includes the front suspension.The link I shared you is for KYB and free shipping in Canada...

Ah that's a super bummer it needs the extras and not just the struts. I totally get the wearyness, if it helps I personally purchased tein street advance z from that site and would happily show you the bill of sale. I also understand about being out of budget. I'm sorry nobody can answer your question but if I were you I would just put a matching set in the back, it iiis just a civic.Lolol that's what I'd be worried about buying used, and I do appreciate the link but I'm very cautious of where I buy stuff online, especially for what I consider a large purchase as I don't have extra money to play with right now. I spent $425 on the Monroe struts on sale and that was already out of my budget. The kyb struts on that site are $75 more and it's not the full assembly which means I would also need the mount and bearing as it all needs to be replaced in my car. It's easy to say "just spend the extra money, you get what you pay for" as I've heard this multiple times already. Problem is I don't have anymore money to spend on them so Monroe is about as good as it gets for me that site seems to be about 50/50 for positive and negative reviews if not it might be even more negative than positive. Alot of the negative reviews I've seen mention the same issues with shipping, special orders and lack of communication as well which makes me nervous as it seems to be pretty common. I'll look into it a little more but as of right now I think I'm set on the Monroe struts, not really looking for suggestions just looking for someone who can answer my question if possible. I'm starting to think that person doesn't exist as this is the 3rd place I've posted this lol
It's actually just the front ones I need. My back OEM Shock absorbers still seem to work great, or did you mean just to have a matching set in the back?Ah that's a super bummer it needs the extras and not just the struts.

Sorry I misunderstood, doesn't matter much front to rear matching I just meant use a pair that matches to replace the existing ones. The full cost was $1085.06 Canadian, shipping was about 14 days. I also ordered a full set of bilstein oem shocks and struts for the wife's mini cooper and got them for $634.50 total. Shipping with them was a little longer and they didn't get me an order update until I asked.It's actually just the front ones I need.

I am curious though how much were your tein struts if you don't mind me asking, I'm assuming you received them with no major issues?
The ones I seen on there are definitely out of my budget but I couldn't find the right ones for my car specifically.
