any one bought this? Love it? Hate? Price is great but no sure the quality.
Thanks for the opinion!

I just bought 4 KYB struts from rock auto. $400 range.

oem source but 10-15% increased dampening. Oem spring rate seems ok to me.

You won't do better than the factory suspension for anything less than $1500.

My opinion is ride it like it is until you have the bank to support a quality suspension setup. 2 things you never cut corners on are your suspension and brakes. If either of those fail you're putting others at risk on the road. If you can't afford the quality parts then leave it OEM.

Went down this road. They took them back no questions asked (they knew why) but had to pay for install twice (once to install, again to remove and install real suspension parts). Ended up getting the KYBs on the oem springs and am very happy with them. There is a reason these are not for sale on RockAuto.

Yeah, it'll look beautiful as a strut goes while your chugging along at 70mph and it sends you and maybe others careening into a ditch.

Function > Form.... always
