Strut cartridge replacement

[QuickAudi at aol.com]

I have Konis.  They rock!!!  Adjustable (on the car, if you know how to do it right.), rock hard to very firm to dang soft, easily.
I think that Monroes and Gabriels are the same thing, but don't quote me on that.  Funny fact: I actually dissed the Monroe shocks in the presence of the manager of one of their sister plants.  Told him my Konis have lasted years; Monroes and Gabriels lasted 6 months.  He said he wanted to see them.  Something about a bigger piston lasts longer or something.  I said piston size didn't matter to me; not having to pay money for them every 6 months, then replacing them and mopping up the leaking fluid and hoping I got the alignment back into place was more important.
Boges are good too.
