I have the next model up (Quick Strut, I think) and they work well. My front end does sit noticeably higher than it did. The stock springs must have been pretty tired after 120000 miles. It rides a lot better and handles better. I got mine off of Amazon.

Yes they are. Up to 3" of drop or 2" of lift. You wouldn't need to use the leveling spacer with these struts.
