1998 Corolla - Fully Assembled Strut/Spring

Trying to find a vendor of full strut/spring assemblies ready for immediate install on a '98 Corolla. Everything needs to be replaced, car has 130k+ miles w/original gear.

Monroe has something called Quick-Strut but part isn't yet in production for the '98's (target = Jan '07) and Gabriel has something called Ready Mount. Haven't been able to find anything for this car -- anyone else out there have a supplier for these? Anyone find have a part number that can be substituted and works just fine?

Since everything needs to be replaced - figured these fully assembled replacements are the best route for doing the job as quickly as possible.

Why not just buy spring compressors ones like this seem to work well enough

You can get these almost anywhere, no there not the fastest method but they work... to make it easier remove the struts as an assembly swap the springs and the top mounts then put the new assembly back in
