Put Bilstein Tourings all around last July. Had one shock leak in 1st month. Got a replacement from FCP-no problem. Rear end rattles started a month or two later. OK on the road but really rattley on scabby pavement.

Put Sachs Advantage replacements on this AM.(Found the other original Bilstein now leaking when removed). Happy to report that the "parking lot rattles" are gone—just a nice "heavy rubber" feeling now, with no noise.

So far the struts feel OK—but I won't be buying any more cut-rate Bilsteins.
