Shock absorbers GABRIEL or OEM Toyota

Got Gabriel on both my gen3s Self installed. They're as good as ya gonna get for these cars

My mother drove her 2010 Corolla for 11 years and 320,000 km with no breakdowns and only (frankly spotty and frequently late) basic maintenance before passing it off to my brother, who still drives it every day it with 350k kms (edit: 220k miles). The shocks probably need replacement at some point in the nearer term but those are wear items and the car spent most of its life on terrible Saskatchewan roads, so I can’t really blame it for that.

2008 LC Prado - 185k mileage. Regular PMS only. front lower arms, and tire rods were change for the first time last year since it was new, rides like brand new again. Shocks were already replaced with OME.

I just back from mechanic shop with another set of stock absorber (facelift gt86) and ride is really night and day!! Firm but not harsh, can feel the road but not as uncomfortable as before.

My 2014 Rav 4 Limited has 222,000 miles on it. Needs new shocks to the tune of $2000.00 but that’s to be expected. Absolutely no regrets.

2011 SR5 4wd just under 110k. Zero issues just regular maintenance. I am due for some new shocks though.

I replaced the six year old KYB Excel-G shocks with Gabriel Max Control. The reviews say they are firm shocks. They are firmer than the KYB when they were new, but not too firm . Perfect for my liking. They really handle speed bumps well and almost completely eliminate sway when driving on mountain roads. Also, the truck stays level when coming to a stop. No nosedive.

Bilsteins are probably best, unless you want to cough up a lot for fox. I have Gabriel premium right now. Pretty good, but not as good as Bilsteins.

I have a Ford transit connect and after 3 mos my gabriel shocks bottomed out  absolute CRAP!!!

Gabriel shock absorbers are absolute shit.
