[V8] Strut comparison

[32vquattro]

I would save the $50, and go with the senatracs. Problem with the bilstiens 
is there inverted design. The yellow base is actually hollow. Unless you 
drill out your strut housing, condensation will build up and damage the 
shock.water doesn't compress. Neither does ice. Also, underneith that yellow 
base of the inverted type billstien, is a 1/2 diameter shaft that bends very 
easy when the shock is not allowed to compress due ice traped in there.  Now 
you have to deal with Raul (pronounced Ra-ool) out in California warenty 
department who doesn't like to warenty anything. Jeremy Ward hosted some 
pics for me  a while ago. Im sure if you ask, he will send you a link. Al
