Strut update 1 year old lem struts
It has been one year since I bought new struts from subaru. Still no leaks, rides well, and sits 1/2 inch higher than it used to. Taking them out this weekend to double check but seems like buying oe struts may be an option. I did not expect them to last.

Re: Strut update 1 year old lem struts
If they aren't leaking after a year, I'd say you should have also bought Lotto tickets when you bought the struts
The full set I bought years ago started leaking profusely within 2 months. Congrats! Bill

Re: Strut update 1 year old lem struts
Mine were installed on 05-08-2013 and are also still fine.
They were from the recently dated run: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...90&postcount=4 |

Re: Strut update 1 year old lem struts
I've had luck as well with OEM struts. Replaced all 4 last year with Motorsport warehouse drop springs.
