Are these better or worse than SVT struts?

Mine are like sponges now...but I really shouldnt be surprised after 126,000 miles. They have had a good life...but the Roush springs are putting em in their grave..

Thanks for any opinions on what I should get if these arent good. The price aint that bad.

How much do BAT struts run for? Wouldnt ST200 struts work the same?

I dont want to lose my kidney's and teeth at every bump

I's say those are regular OEM replacements. probably not a great idea with lowering springs. Have you found the front ones also?

BAT's are $99 a pop....you can't get ST200's anymore as far as I know...

BAT/Bilstein/Koni/Spax...

I've got the full BAT kit and I'd say it's got 90% of the stock ride comfort, though I'm still not quite satisfied with the shock damping. It seems too soft...If I had to do it again, I'd go with Bilstein.
