maarte mechanic mo kasi kelangan nya ng pera, so everytime he sees you, he can hear the ka-ching ka-ching of a cash register, hehe just kidding.

pagdating sa underchassis (or most major car repairs), you generally get what you pay for. spend on fake parts bukas makalawa wasak na din agad yan.

choose original 555 parts and you can bet you by golly wow na tatagal yan ng 1 year or more. more if you travel on smoothly paved roads most of the time.

choose cruven and you can be sure na yung reconditioned joints na ilalagay nila ay super kunat at tatagal ng 1 year at least. dati sa crame branch nila i chose to recondition all joints sa front plus two shocks. up until i sold the car early this year antigas pa din nung joints, so medyo tumigas yung ride nung vehicle. yung shocks din, antigas.

if i were you, i'd go the cruven route. mas mura na, and when the time comes for you to sell the car makikita nung buyer na all original pa yung pang ilalim (yes may mga maarteng buyer na ipapa angat pa sa gas station para silipin mga yan). downside is medyo magiging stiff ang ride, sometimes for months until the polymer they put into the joints soften up somewhat.
