I have had mine over 2 years, and am very happy with them.
My car is an XE, so my original shocks sucked a$$ and died
completely at 50K. after less than 3 years. My shocks handle great.
Maybe I am an exception to the rule, but my car handles very well, and
my other car is a sports car with auto ride control in it, so I know what
good hadling is. I was suggesting a way to save some money for the kid.
He did not sound like he was going to be doing gc's or anything anytime
soon.
So I was suggesting he save a few bucks.
