taylerade Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 am having the opportunity to buy rear struts Precision Ride by Gabriel. was planning to put KYBs all around, but those Gabriels are cheaper and i figure i wouldnt need much of great struts in the rear. i'd still get KYBs for the front which it counts the most (ST lowering front springs are sitting at home in a box!). any opinions? are those struts any good? i'd appreciate them!!

Guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 I had gabriels all around, and I did not care for them. I like my Sensatracks a lot better. My next ones will be something a bit stiffer. As to not needing good ones in the rear, I disagree. The way the rear of the car responds will affect the way the front of the car will respond. For example, I just put in the rear anti-sway bar from an FE3 car, and that made a noticable differance in the way the car handles. I say that Gabriels are good, but I think that there are better ones out there (of corse). Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpse3200 Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Gabriels give a rather harsh ride and they are noisy. Also when they hit a series of bumps it feels like they've crapped out all of a sudden...AC Delco Reactek, Monroe Reflex and the KYB's are much better alternatives I know for sure that the AC Delco and the Monroe are self adjusting but remaining moderatley stiff under cruise, KYB's I belive are stiff through out. If you want something thats roughly in the middle, the Monroe Sensatracs are excellent. Anything less than the Sensatracs and you aren't getting alot....
