I've been back and forth and can't make up my mind anyone have experience with both? I put Gabriel's on in a pinch awhile back and it's starting to feel like a buck board wagon. Its the significant others daily driver and the roads are crap.

I ran gabriel ultras up front when my tokicos blew. I didnt particulary care for them (i was still using MicroImage drop springs with aftermarket bumpstops), so i went to Redshift coilovers lol

Not meaning to Hijack but has anyone ran Bilstein B8 shocks on their eggs? Currently on Megan springs with stock struts, fine for DDing but I have an itch to spend money on my car again.

I'm on Tein's lowering springs. Switching from stock to Bilstein B8's made my ride 10 times more comfortable. Even the wife approves. The ride comfort is about the same as a stock 370Z that I drove, which belonged to my cousin.
