Any major brand is fine-Monroe, KYB, or Gabriel. You will need a strut spring compressor--either that or take the entire strut assembly to a machine shop and pay them to swap them out. Getting the front struts out can be tricky. You either need a special tool or you have to loosen the engine cradle a bit to lift the steering knuckle off the lower ball joint.
