I'm hooked on Bilstein, cost a little more but, well worth the extra couple dollars in longevity. I had to put a new set of shocks on my '95 Diesel Ram every year, til I bought them and I haven't had to change these in 6 years now. A coworker wanted the best for his '69 Cutlass vert, so now he's sold on Bilstein too.
