Found a good deal on them but are they any good? Would they be okay with Maxspeed springs? I would get the K-sport coilovers but I'm trying to save money for other things (apartment, I.C.E., insurance). Anybody know anything about these struts? They're also known as MacPhersons. Any help is much appreciated

 

if you have lowering springs on your car and put some gabriel shocks- they are gonna wear out very fast- save the money up and do it right. I like my illuminas.

 

Aren't MacPhersons what the stock struts are? I bought the car a month ago and the suspension that's on here is not good at all (KYB/Dropzone). I just want something like my old Max but a lil stiffer (KYB/Eibach).

 

illumina/hr- do it- do it now krmaxima21

 

btw whats a Gabriel strut

 

MacPherson is a type of strut.

Gabriel is just a manufacturer, a brand name.

 

oh ok thank you

 

Macphersons are the type of strut the car has. Your suspension is probably blown with those dropzone springs, they are a big drop and not good quality. Theres a pic on here of someones that snapped into pieces. The stock struts were made by HP and Gabriels arent gonna be able to stand a drop. Cheapest way to go is KYB GR2 and maxspeeds
