Strut assembly KYB or GABRIEL

I ended up going with stock kyb gr2 struts and swift lowering springs. It rides very smooth and looks good.

I have the gabriel struts from auto zone and they're a bit stuff at first but I'm a year in and they've worn in great.

I ordered the cheapest complete kit (their request) I could find off of ebay. The struts were actually Gabriel struts and 3 years later it's still going without issue.

Had KYB-GR-2 struts paired with Vogtland springs some 10 years ago on my Camry. Rode nicely and smoothly, very OEM like.

Got the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX rear struts in last night. All I've got to say is wow. Talk about an amazing ride. The KYB AGX dampening adjustable struts are an incredible strut for the money. I played around with the dampening adjustment during my drive and you can completely change the feel in the rear of the car with just a few clicks of the adjustment knob.

For my WRX, I went with KYB. First, they are cheaper. Second, they are 20% stiffer than OEM. I know you might not want a stiff ride, but the OEM ones are really soft. The 20% stiffer ones pair very nicely with stock springs. Honestly, it will feel and handle much better.

KYB actually makes the OEM ones, so fitment is spot on.

KYB gas struts

I used brand new KYB rabbit struts, and put a 1.5" lenth of round stock in the bottom of the strut housing to make up the difference in tube length

i have a set of KYB GR-2 struts on my Subaru and there great for a basic daily driver.
