        What are my options? OEM Boge/Sachs, KYB, Gabriel GasRyder, Koni?

        Anyone know if the Gabriels are like the KYBs?

        And how is it that Gabriel and KYB don't differentiate between
        "factory lowered" and "standard" suspension vehicles for the
        shock part number specification?

        Could the eshocks.com folks be WRONG?
