    I have used these and they are good. They are a step up from the OEM shocks.

    (I had some for sale - but they have been sold)

    I guess that all depends on what kind of driving you plan on doing. KYB is a great shock and is more performance oriented. Those Gabriel Classics in the auction are better then OEM shocks and are a good gas shock for stock replacement. Your looking at about $40 a set for the Gabriels and $100 a set for the KYBs. If you think you need the added performance for your driving, get the KYBs. But for the money, the classics are a good gas stock replacement at a great price. You will have to decide if your driving habits need the KYBs.
