Just put Gabriels on my 82 300D 2 weeks ago. 210,000 miles and I'm pretty sure I pulled the original Sachs off. Gas charge in rears was totally gone and one would not retact more than half way. Gas charge onthe fronts was only about half extention. Fronts and rears almost no dampning left just push or pull the whole length. Anyway the new Gabriels are somewhere between the comfort and HD shock in stiffness. At $20 each with a lifetime warr. I can change them every 2 years and feel good about it. AZ had them in stock Seemed like a good deal we'll see.
