FCS Quck Struts on our TL's?

Starting to think my struts are finally starting to go since the car is starting to feel a little bouncy at bumps.
I know Monroe and KYB only make struts and the complete assembly but a company called FCS does and they're available on rockauto.

Never heard of them but they're the cheapest option and will make the job much easier and safer but the question is, are they too good to be true?
Has anyone had any experience with FCS quick strut assemblies? Or do you guys recommend I should go with Monroe or KYB? Monroe is cheaper than KYB at my local parts store and both offer lifetime warranty but the KYB upper mounts are cheaper.
So what do you guys think? Should I go with Monroe or KYB and buy all the pieces separately? (more expensive safe bet option) or take a chance with these FCS quick struts from rock auto? If you guys ever used these struts before please let me know how they are thanks!

Or 3rd option, I nut up and blow $1600 on KW coil overs lol: http://www.tdotperformance.ca/kw-sus...4-2-5in-e.html

I don't know what the quality is like, but replacing the entire assembly is 100x easier than assembling the components. Last time I did my struts I was about to choke a b**** because there were so many issues with all of the components not fitting correctly. I wasted so much time shaving down rubber grommets, and modifying strut boots to fit, etc. And once you have the car apart it's just ridiculous to abort the mission and put everything back so I can send parts back that don't exactly fit and wait to get replacements and try again.

Anyway, since I'm spending your money, go for the coil overs
