Take a look at this, life time warranty, good price, good review.

Feb 2014 will be 2 years on the Gabriel's front and rear. Would highly recommend, still smooth, rides excellent and due to the Volvo wheel base they swallow speed bumps. Nothing like watching the residence of this area I need to go to from time to time tailgating with their new sports cars and SUV's and then falling back in the rear view mirror after negotiating the first of three speed bumps.

The rear Gabriel's are fine but would like to try the Bilstein TC's for the rear shocks next time as it could help with the inherent Understeer in the 850/S70's.

How many miles have you put on those Gabriels now?

How many miles have you put on those Gabriels now?

Only round 14K. Most of roads are consider very good and I do not corner hard but there is a 9 miles stretch of some curvy bumpy country back roads to one of the two main freeways.

Allright, ive changed my struts now. I bought the Bilstein B4 (TC), dont regret it at all. its comfy but still that Sporty feeling not to hard not to soft. takes bumps very well. I think its just perfect.
Never thought this car could feel this good!

My old shocks i could push down with 1 finger with almost no pressure at all.

Thanks for all advices!
