[DRASTiK]

It's not very difficult to replace the front struts, so I'd say do it yourself. As far as good brands, I use KYB, and I like them. There are many different brands to choose from.

If you're replacing the struts to raise your car, then you're wasting your money, the only thing that will really raise it back up, is new springs.

If you meant springs instead of struts, then it's a whole different story.
