Not a bad replacement, not as good quality as originals. This was my 2nd pair. The originals lasted over 12 years. The first pair didn't even last 3 years and I wasn't as rough with them as I was with the originals. And yes, I swapped out my shocks before replacing these, so it's not a bad shock that's the problem. You really need to put a little more effort into these replacements. This isn't rocket science.
