Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Rip off

I've had good luck with Sachs struts.

Since Clyde brought up his daughter's need for bonnet struts on her Lexus, I also need boot lid struts on the '04 XK8.  So I searched Amazon (have also looked at Rock Auto...) and found several different manufacturers - Boxi, Lesjofors, A-Premium, YHTAuto, and more.

Any advice on how to choose what's good?  Or are they all pretty much the same?  I can pretty easily see some "good" ones being far better than other "good" ones....

Dad told me that he bought parts from a Jag dealer in Knoxville (and I have bought a couple of things there, which I couldn't find anywhere else), but they want about $180 - EACH - for these struts.  It's not a proprietary part, so no reason in the world to pay that crazy money for something as simple as a gas strut.

Anyway, appreciate inputs on how others make their choices on something like this....

Thanks!
