Strut assembly GABRIEL or Sachs

Always preferred Gabriel. Had a nice combination of ride and handling.

I did Gabriel struts/shocks on both gen3 prii. Would recommend.

IMO, Sachs will restore the factory ride characteristics. I always recommend Sachs because they always seem to ride the closest to stock and have had good luck with their replacement parts.

I recently put some Gabriel quick struts on my 2008 minivan. Fitment was so good they didn’t change the alignment (I had a local shop check after the install). I’ve only driven on them for a month but the ride has been excellent so far.

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.

Had an 85' Jetta GLI: installed lowering springs (1/5" front, 1" rear, 40% stiffer? Hor brand? Pretty sure I picked them up from Autotech) and used HD standard struts (coilovers were not available and pretty sure I used Sach's struts).

I bought the Gabriel Readymounts. No complaints

No Monroe, never Monroe unless you need quick struts. KYB is okay but always stiffer than advertised imo. Gabriel is fine but I always aim for Bilstein or another respected aftermarket brand if I plan on keeping the car.

Kyb, bilstien or sachs. Everything else just is crap.

I had the same problem with a set of Gabriel struts.
