Owner reviews for strut assembly

I have the KYB with Eibach springs on my GS400. The ride is smooth & controlled

Im choosing motorcraft because it's stock OEM ride and it has a 2 year warranty, parts and labor.

Guess I lucked out when I ordered my B6's (talked to the company first and knew they were 4 days out)

I put Gabriel ready struts on. I like them. They are a more truck like ride. I tried some cheap RCS brand ones and I was literally bottoming in city streets with a lift kit lol. I would go Monroe if you want really smooth(never had them but that’s what I’ve heard), Gabriel a little more performance or if you tend to carry heavier stuff frequently.

Buy KYB Struts Plus because they are identical to the OEM in replicating the ride and feel.

Duralast loaded struts from autozone, put em on my dads 200k volkswagen passat, ride height is fine and they ride good, all my shops around town buy em and dont seem to have any issue at all

Just purchased a set of front Koni STR.T for my Son's 08 C30 T5 2.0 M66. Bilstein are in the back. Had the resources to upgrade suspension parts in the late 80's and Koni has been the best thus far compared to Bilstein, Gabriel, KYB and Monroe on various makes.

Be careful if you buy rebuilt Phaeton struts. I haven't found any that mention rebuilding the dampers (shocks). They check them and repaint them and put new air bags on them. You can buy new air bags and swap them yourself for less money.

I went with all KYB on my 07. I don’t like them. I feel like they are much stiffer

I put KYB on my 2010 and it road very harsh. Then I put the on my 2016 still harsh but a bit better
