Re: OEM struts. Options?

The new old stock struts were awesome... for the first 11 months. I went through 3 suspension setups:

100% stock
"New" stock struts with Mychailo springs. I believe this was around 2006-2007
Koni Yellow with GC coilovers - 450f/350r - 2007 to current

I really enjoyed the 2nd set initially until I started experiencing dangerous bump steer once the rear struts completely went dead. By dead I mean you flip the strut over and it just falls right back in.

I'm not on too often but should be now that wedding season is coming to a close in 30 days for me and home buying is settling down. I've learned (and not just with cars) is to do it right the first time. Wait a little and save more money to do it, otherwise you end up spending more later.
