This is a pretty pathetic question, but I'll ask anyway. Being I can't spend alot on struts for my 97 accord (200 or so) , I'm looking into cheaper brands such as KYB and Gabriel. Which out of the two is better? I had KYB on another car before, and I wasn't that impressed, but the Gabriel struts look even cheaper.

Any ideas? Thanks.

 

The Gabriels are cheaper, in more than one way too!
If you can afford the additional expense, go with the KYB's. They are a much better strut / product all together.
Gabriels would be what you'd expect to see at Sears Automotive on a $19.95 special.

i work at a garage and i see gabriels all the time, and having experienced the ride of both...def. kyb you will be much happier in the end and i can promise you they will last a hell of a lot longer.gabriels are more for buses and trucks by the way...
