OESpectrum struts by Monroe
 

Has anyone installed the new OESpectrum struts by Monroe on a 2007 Accord EX, 4-door, 4-cylinder car? (or 2005, or 2006 ?) Monroe says that these struts are specially designed for foreign cars with harsh suspensions. I just bought this car used and, after two weeks, I've decided that the ride is foolishly harsh. I get a headache after ten minutes of driving. By thirty minutes I have a stomach ache, too. No kidding. My 21-year-old son, who's got a weightlifter's iron tough body, feels the same way. He gets the same headache. Every tiny bump is telegraphed harshly right into the driver. Please don't tell me to get a Buick. I've had other Hondas. I have now a 2008 Civic EX and the ride is not so unforgivingly harsh and sharp. I need to smooth out the ride a bit, to get rid of some of the harshness, or I will have to get rid of the car. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

I work for an O'reilly Auto Parts and from my understanding the OESpectrum struts are built mimicking the factory specs, often using the same tooling as the O.E. strut. I also haven't seen more than three returns on them and they have a lifetime warranty
