and wound up putting in Bilstein Tourings.

Be alert for what I call "parking lot rattles", as in blacktop patches at slow speeds. Several have claimed rattles due to excessive upper mount bushing clearance. However, my rattles were internal. And it took a month or two before they started.

I had 3 rears altogether. One leaked after a week on the car, and was replaced by FCP. The other 2 stayed on (rattling) all winter. When replaced with Sachs Advantage (FCP) in the spring, the original was leaking and both had internal rattles off the car.

But in 22 months or so, I hav no complaints about the BT struts.

Do a search on BTs here -- you'll turn up more.
