[SUPER]

Being new to the forum, I appreciate the direct and honest responses. I bought the SVX with the intent of driving it. I want a stock ride so I think I will take my chances with the OEM and let everyone know how they are doing. Not a statistically valid test to use for all oem struts, to be sure; but it can be one test case. I won't be driving it hard or racing. Just making the 15-mile leisurely drive to work and back (30 total) each day.

Again, thanks to everyone who weighed in. Probably another good thread would be the alternatives to OEM. Someone mentioned other brands. I have looked a little on car parts sites and have not found anything that is available on a shelf or ready to ship, stock or stiffer ride. I must be looking in the wrong places.
