Replacing Struts/shocks on 04 Maxima

My nissan maxima 2004, ride has become very bad. I can literally feel every bump on the road. There a really bad rattling noise from the passenger side.
I'm looking for a quick strut assembly. I was looking at Monroe but they dont include the springs with strut. Gabriel has them, but i heard meh reviews about them, it seem it wont last me.
What do you recommend? I need new struts/shocks, that includes the spring.
SEND me link and sites!!

springs should be fine, just get good new struts. if youre not comfortable using a spring compressor get a shop to replace them

+1 on KYB. Not too stiff. Monroe are entirely too floaty/boaty.

depends what you prefer. oem ride or stiffer ride.

kyb work fine and are going to be stiffer than oem.

monroe are like oem, smoother.

both are good. I tried both and prefer the monroe, but that's just me. If you want a stiffer ride, kyb are stiffer. My max is a daily driver and I didnt see the point of getting hit in the back with potholes.
