And based on my experience in using various brands over the years, I have
come to the conclusion that all you're paying for is a name when it comes
to Koni or Bilstein Gas Shocks and that's usually at twice to three times
the price of KYB.  I've used nothing but KYB on ALL of my vehicles for the
past 15 years with excellent results.  And you can't beat the Lifetime
Warranty either.

just my nickel's worth (inflation y'know)
