You'll probably just end up replacing them again, or not being pleased with what you get. I'd only trust name brands for struts. Especially front struts, since they are under a lot of stress. Check on KYB or some lower-end Monroe struts. Tokico is what I like, but getting them at a low price seems less likely than the other brands I mentioned. You could also check the FS section for used pieces.

They are life time warranty.... 100$ for two new ones is pretty cheap. I think im gonna go with that

My car has 150 miles on it... i'm planning on keeping it for another 2 years max... is it realy worth it to get some brand name struts?

Probably sucks for the guy that buys it after you. :roll:

No website, no reviews.

Worth every penny ... not much.

Installing them this week with a pair of cheap lowering springs, ill let the forum know how it went, I hopw I will be able to say they're excellent value

well, despite all the discouragemnt you guys gave here (which is very legitimate) i still went and bought them since i cannot afforad any better.

I will provide you guys an update after i install them...

you lowered?

by **mazen222** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 5:22 am

nahh... isn't lowering just cuting the ends of the springs? if its that simple... sould i lower a bit? but then again, with cheap sruts...?

anytime i am cheap with parts or anything that has to do with cars it comes back to haunt me later. i learned my lesson already. i think you made a bad choice on these struts but i hope that i am wrong

good luck with these!!

quick update, 4 months riding on those struts. still rolling fine. big difference from the soft oem. nothing to complain about so far. if they last for 1 full year i'll be happy
