Had them installed on my 2008 Rav4 earlier this year and put a around 2,000 miles on them. So far it rides really well, I don’t bottom out anymore, and when I hit potholes/speed bumps I don’t hear the entire car getting rattled. Definitely a quality product, and it states that the parts are made in Japan.

My car would make a broom sound when on the pot hole or on a bump. Now after changing both front struts, the ride is nice and smooth.
Kurt –
These struts are insanely stiff. My car feels worse with these new struts than they did with the old blown out struts. It’s fine on the freeway but around town and any small bump, it’s complete trash. Wish I would have just got the factory replacements now.
