So my mechanic has recommended that I replace all 4 corners in my car. I may be selling my car soon so I didn't want to spend too much money to fix it. I read about the SenSen shock and struts set - the price is right but it seems like they are kind of hit or miss:

How does TM3 feel about them? Or any recommendations on other brands and where to buy?

I also saw that Monroe has a rebate right now:

Any good sources to buy this from?

Had SenSen's up front on my Mazda5. They blew within 8 months.

Been running SenSens on my 3 for nearly 2 years paired with ProKits. No problems at all

Had Sensens on my ride with Tanabe lowering springs (NF series, equivalent to stock spring rates). Dampening were too soft for those springs even.

Currently running BC coilovers and have been quite happy with them. Still a little soft imo
