AdventureSubaru Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I was looking at these for a friends car. Came across reviews on amazon for a variety of makes and models. Seems they look fine and ride fine so initial responses were good but a number of reviews had them failing and sometimes bending inside of 20,000-30,000 miles. Probably best to start with Monroe and work up from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) A friend of mine bought them, blew them out in under 10k miles and they never rode very well. I've had the same experience with Gabriels. For $100 more you can get a set of KYBs and they'll last 5x longer. Edited July 3, 2015 by 987687 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifu Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 A friend of mine bought them, blew them out in under 10k miles and they never rode very well. I've had the same experience with Gabriels. For $100 more you can get a set of KYBs and they'll last 5x longer. I'll second this- Bought a gabrial rear vs. a kyb rear on ebay just to see. The construction is clearly better on kyb. Also, the KYB is harder to compress and rebounds faster..if that makes a difference. Observing the difference from a top brand to a 2nd shelf strut, I would seriously hesitate going to the bargain bin struts. Besides, if you keep an eye out NOS KYBs can go for 40-70 on ebay.
