I need to replace the front struts, the choice seems to be KYB, Gabriel or Monroe.
Which ones are people running? I know KYB are the OEM but is it worth changing to one of the other 2 types.

KYB Excel-G are definitely different to OEM. They're a fair bit stiffer and have quite a harsh rebound.

I am not overly fussed on my Excel-G but given I'm running lowered springs, I would still pick them over anything else (apart from Konis of course).

Konis all round is my ride.

Unbeatable handling, everything just works.
