Quick Struts
 

Has anyone used a quick strut replacement on a V70 that they would recommend?

EEUROPARTS.COM just announced their V70 coil spring strut assembly kit - $685 for the pair and you get all new parts including strut, spring, seat, bearing etc. Just bolt and go. You'd have to ask them what components they used but I'd say its pretty risk free since you don't have to worry about incorrect assembly or whether to replace the seat and bearings... Post back if you decide to go that route.
