I can get a set of Eibach Pro-Line springs that have 40k on them AND a pair of front Gabriel Ultra Struts for $120 shipped to my door.

This is a hella good deal and I want to know if anyone has heard of gabriel and how good they are. How long will they last? I doubt they are as good as Tokicos but tokicos cost like a leg and an arm to me, so what do you guys think? anyone ever felt its ride quality before?
Thanks in advance.

 

-Gabriel shocks used to be one of the big names from way back when I was a youngin' but I really haven't heard much about them for quite awhile now. Sorry, but that's about it.

If cost oftokico'sis like an arm and a leg to you how much is the cost of the koni struts to you? , lol. To answer your question, the name sounds familiar, heres something:

Ok the story.

I can get the Eibach Springs which have been on another car for 3 years and 40kmiles for $70 shipped....(good deal or not?)

And the 2 front Gabriel Struts are $50 shipped...soI can get either, or both. What do you guys think I should do?

I don't know if the springs are still good after 40k, and I haven't heard any reviews of gabriel struts, nor can I find any on google.

I am scratching my head right now wondering if I should go ahead and get those.

Suggestions?

 

Gabriel is a good brand over the seas. I used them on two different cars, a Lancia and a Renault, about 2-3 years ago. They were doing a very good job, BUT on a regular suspension. The springs should be just fine, they have lifetime waranty, but my pro-kit killed my oem struts after about three months. So, if the Gabriel's are not some sport type, I doubt they'll work to long. The price for the springs is ok, but it wouldn't hurt if u could bring it down a little.

 

Same here... the springs should be good under 99% of the conditions... I cant vouch for the struts though, never used them ever on any vehicle.

 

ok thanks alot guys, I have made up my choice. I am not going to get these....I mean come on...3 whole years?!?! It's not worth it.

And I'd rather get thestrut brand that everyone knows and loves than experiment on something I have never heard of before.
