I got my Gabriels at $55/strut. They work pretty good but I think that are basically a OEM replacement, or just like stock. They maybe be better. My front right was the one that went out on my car. At like 32000 mi. They work, though.
I'm replacing the stock shocks now but I'm not sure yet what to go with.
