I would definitely call to order and make sure you are getting what you order-and where they're made.

For example, a year ago I order Sachs Advantage from FCP which had been made in Germany. When I went to open the individual strut box several months later they are Sachs Super Touring made in Mexico-which have been previously reported to have a short lifespan.

There have been many posts in the past on here about this Sachs Advantage/Boge Turbo Gas issue, unfortunately I read the posts a little late.

A classic case of buyer beware.

If I had it to do over I would probably go a safer route order KYB Gas-a-just front struts which are made in Japan and seem to be of better quality.
