Gabriel Ultra struts
So I'm replacing my OEM honda struts on my '82 wagon. I have received three "new" Gabriel Ultras from Rock Auto. All three feel different but are all the same model stamped on the side.
Strut 1 has medium rebound pressure and very low compression pressure
Strut 2 has med/high rebound pressure and medium compression pressure
Strut 3 has high rebound and high compression pressure.
OEM is medium rebound and medium/low compression
My question is should these same model struts all feel the same when compressing and expanding by hand? Or is these differences nothing to worry about when compared to a 2000 lb car moving through the suspension travel?
I don't want to have to remove and re-install one when I find out it rides like poo.

Should not be a difference left and right on those cars. I know my 1981 sedan was the same either side.
