Good front struts for Gen-dos W-bodies

My friend has KYB's in his but his front suspension is screwed right now.

 

I would just get Monroe's if its strictly a DD. Maybe Bilsteins if they are available?

I always see Monroe Sensatrac's fail relatively quickly, and every time I tried them, they're too soft or will not dampen as well after a few thousand miles. Know anyone who used Bilsteins?

I did my rear a couple thousand ago, and I just did my fronts yesterday on my truck. Everyone seems to recommend them for the S-series. They seem to be pretty good definitely alot stiffer. I really don't remember what stock feels like, but they are definitely a quality built product.

Ive had the sensa-tracs, and the KYB GR-2's and out of the two Id deff get the KYB if you can. Over a 3 month period I had 3 or 4 sensa-tracs fail. And that was just in the front.

Gotta be the KYB's, especially with the decent price they go for!

 

Sucks that it's nowhere near as easy as changing cartridges on Gen-1's. Add it to the list :lol:

yeah...the KYB's were cheaper than the OEM ones here at a local parts store..and lifetime warranty is ftw.
