https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/20..._assembly.html HAS ANYONE USED THESE STRUT ASSEMBLIES?

 

I have been using Arnott products for the last 10 years. I can tell you their quality beats any other out there..... First time I hear about this UNITY brand.

 

Looks like they dont make standard struts for my car, only the air ride ones

Basically Bilstein or Sachs makes struts, Sachs is OEM but more money. I put in Bilstein. They were around $120 each on Rockauto. But I'd replace the springs too, ride height went up after replacing them.

 

Are the adjustable height, I know the Sachs are and im still thinking about them because I want the original ride feel. Im still thinking about the Unity strut units but dont want a ride height difference.

 

There's 10 rings on the Bilstein. I measured the old and new strut so that the ring was on the proper ring and they had the same height when put next to each other. Once they were on the car, I could tell there was more room in the wheel well. Same with replacing rear springs, when you take them out they're the same height, but once you put them in, the new ones don't end up compressing as much as the old one so you get back some ride height. They do settle down a little after a few weeks, but not anywhere as much as before.

 

did you notice much difference in the Bilstien’s versus the Sachs?

 

Not sure what you mean by that. The Bilsteins were much cheaper. Sachs were more like in the $200 range as opposed to the $120 for the Bilstein on rockauto. Most other places were $160 for the Bilsteins. Suspension appears livelier. It's back to a firmer ride. It was kinda dead before, more of a pounding, not a bounce. Strangely the Bilstein weren't listed on rockauto's site for 2008 but was for 2009. I just searched for the part number and found them.

 

Great thanks probably go with the Bilstein
