Default Kimpex gas struts or OEM???

Ayone here ever replaced their stock OEM front struts with the Kimpex gas ones. Any luck? Better or worse ride or reliability? It is for a 95 300 4x4. I found a couple for $40 a piece, new too. What you guys think? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I think I may get a set when I buy shocks

from what I have read they tend to leak and they either last a long time or a couple rides. I would suggest getting them from someone who is a dealer instead of ebay so you can easily return them if need be because of leaks.

I will be getting them from a dealer. I should be able to return them without much of a problem. How much problem have you heard of them. Frequent or a lot?

I replaced mine and was looking at Kimpex. I ended up going with the Fox struts, didnt want to cause I am not a name brand kind of guy but honestly I dont regret the purchase. It is a whole new ride.
