i put the gabriel's best gas filled on my wifes pt cruiser. they were fine but in about a year and less than 10k they were so shot that i thought something was broken on the front end!

i sprang for bilsteins at big bucks for it.

the gabs were life time warranty but who wants to be changing them every 6k miles....especially on a car with front struts!

i tried boges on my bmw bavaria twenty years ago and was not impressed. also tried kybs on my saab 24 years ago and had a similar experience to the above mentioned gabriels.

bilsteins cost a lot more but have never never disappointed. i have taken them off cars with 100k on them and discovered they were as good as new. i even installed them later on another car.
