Struts
I just found out that i need a front Strut on the Drivers side.
I probably going to replace them both though.
Any advice on which brand to buy?
Thanks

depends on budget......monroe are alright though for the price. bilstein are the best in my opinion but i don't like how koni's ride. kyb are alright for about 1,000 miles and then they aren't so hot. i used gabriels for awhile when i was really on a budget at $20 some a piece they were great for the price.

I checked at Autozone for Struts. They have two brands:
Gas-Ryder $28.99
Bilstein $199.99
Now the difference in price seems incrediable. How can there be that much of a difference.
I hate to sound so naive. Can someone explain this to me?
Thanks

check out their websites for descriptive manor.......there is a night and day difference on the road. you get what you pay for when in comes to suspension. well for the most part anyhow.

The gas-ryders are just a generic oil filled strut made to work on different vehicles. The bilsteins are going to be a nitrogen charged strut with higher quality internals and made for your vehicle.
I still think the Monroes are the best bang for the buck unless you autocross or drag race on a regular basis.
