Does anyone know why these strut assemblies don't fit a T-5 ? And are they inferior ?

The top one will not suit as the t5 has lower ride height.
Second one , just forget Monroe....
Iiirc , they have Boge stc on ROCKAUTO too , go them , Bilstein or Koni or Volvo which is Sachs I think.
You can get them here.
Where are you?

The previous owner has put Monroes on the front end and its not great where I live on the N/NSW with all the pot holes. After doing more research I think the Bilsteins are the best option. Looking at $750 from FCP for complete kit.
