This opens up your options for replacements

The simplicity of replacing the part. Not having to fiddle with spring, top mount, etc etc makes the job way faster. I think the quick-strut assemblies are worth their price to not have to do all that extra labor if you don't care about having OE-level ride quality. 3 bolts on top, 1 pinch bolt thing at the bottom and thats all.
is the quality of a trq or fcs as good as a bilstien or something else. No. But the price reflects the quality and the ease of install makes it a no brainer for a car that is 10 years old. Enjoy, probably, thousands of miles of new shocks. I would honestly consider using these on my 2011 X5. my wife doesn't care enough about handling and what not.
