Not bad products IMO. I installed the KYB standards front and back and can't complain. Helluva lot more smoother than the Gabriel gas riders that lasted a whopping 10,000 miles before they went mushy and pissed the hydraulic liquid all over causing me to fail inspection?!?!

After 15,000 miles so far, they feel like the day I installed them, so I give them a thumbs up especially for the price. I searched and searched for better deals on these and either Summit ( http://www.summitracing.com ) or performance suspention technologies prices were the lowest depending on the day of the year... I got mine from PST because they had a front and back package deal, but Summit is cheaper now I think. Price them online... http://www.p-s-t.com and see whats cheaper...

They're no Billsteins or Konis, but they're pretty good pieces.
