Anyone else have bad luck with Monroe struts?

Around a month ago I replaced almost every suspension component on my 05 cabrio, (spent a hard previous life in NYC) the front Monroe strut mounts failed almost immediately, which I have replaced with BMW, and now the rear struts are going. I don't use it on the track, nor do I live on a bad dirt road or anything. I spent the extra to get Monroe thinking I was getting go stuff they have have been for every other vehicle I've owned, but does their stuff just not hold up to the harsh suspension these mini's have?

The Monroe mounts are garbage, the results you had with their mounts are the same across the board, we have Lemforders in stock which are the OE aftermarket replacements.

We're also right down the street from you with everything you needed and will need in stock and ready to tackle any jobs you feel necessary.
