Gabriel or KYB GR-2 Opinions?

[jordan]

I need to replace the front stock struts on my 2000 Alero Coupe because they are going bad , but I'm not sure if I should go with the KYB struts for $10 more or get the Gabriel.

I heard KYB is better performance. Just to let everyone know, I would get a little annoyed with a really bumpy ride, especially in the winter time because of the road conditions. Are the KYB's that much better in performance than Gabriel and which will last longer?? I'm not really into the whole racing thing or taking corners fast.

Would the Gabriels give me a smoother ride than the KYB?


Thanks to all who answer with your opinions.

haven't heard anything about gabriels for the alero. kyb's give a ride pretty close to stock, though.
