Thumbs up Just as an update
Installed another set all around of these same Gabriel Gas Supreme shocks on the 1991 420SEL: this is three years+ after putting a set on the '88.

The installed (with the Les Schwab LIFETIME GUARANTEE!) shocks were $7 each more, the labor was $4 each more for a net increa$e of approximately 25% ($219 vs. $175 in '07).

Immediate and noticable ride improvement.

The shocks on the '88 are still good, ride quality is unchanged.

Estimate on KYB's were almost three times as expensive...

Now it's my $0.04 worth...

Cheers!
