We use the Rock Auto web site quite often to look at parts photos. They list struts for your model by KYB, but not the "Quick Struts" with the coil spring already installed. The fronts are out of stock, but what you can do is write down the part numbers, then look at the same parts for other years and other models. If you find the same part number for another application, look at the list to see if they have them available from other suppliers or as the complete assembly. Sometimes there are small differences that warrant an entirely different part number, but it will work on your model. A perfect example is a small mounting bracket may be welded on to hold the cable for an anti-lock brake wheel speed sensor. If your vehicle doesn't have anti-lock brakes, you wouldn't care whether or not that bracket is there.
Another option is to visit any salvage yard and look in their Hollander Interchange books. In there, you look up your model and year, then the specific part, and it will give you a code number for that part. Next, you look up that code number in the back of the book and it will list every year and model that uses that part.
I like the Quick Struts because the new coil spring restores proper ride height which is an important variable when performing the alignment. Your vehicle is new enough that ride height might be okay, so reusing the old coil springs would be an option. Swapping springs to new struts does have some safety concerns, but it can be done by competent do-it-yourselfers. You would need a spring compressor. Given the cost of that tool, it might be a better value to take the parts to any tire and alignment shop and have them do the swap. It should take just a few minutes.
Let me know how you'd like to proceed.
