Strut assembly GABRIEL or Sachs

I also replaced the front and rear struts. Man, what a difference that made in the ride and handling department.

sachs struts with the OEM rubber bushing not Poly is honestly the best feel.

If you want a soft ride choose a Monroe or a Gabriel pre-loaded strut assembly.

Personally I’ve had good luck with Gabriel ReadyMount (Nissan Maxima). I got about 90k miles out of one set and just replaced with the same brand.

For this project, I went for comfort, and these definitely delivered. It's cushy over bumps and dips in the road, and delivers a smoother ride.

The Sachs come with the performance package. Totally worth every penny if you like to mod, track, and auto cross. The Sachs struts have different valving but much better performance than base suspension setup. They also work great with aftermarket performance springs (RCE Yellows work perfectly with the Sachs). I have a 2018 BRZ with the Performance Package with Brembo brakes and love it.

Sachs was the OEM for the struts on my old e39 bmw 528i w/ sports package. I had gotten 60k miles after replacing them before trading the car in.

If they are good enough to be original equipment on a BMW they’re probably pretty good.

Autozone for example will sell you Gabriel brand quick struts which are easy to install - but they are not exact replacements, usually they are too floaty.

Even the Sachs aftermarket are more harsh than OE

You’d probably do the car a disservice by fitting some of the aftermarket struts that are out there like Monroe or Gabriel, I’d recommend sticking to Honda OEM or KYB.
