I've had Gabriels on my 86 over four years without a problem.
I'm just wondering how common it is for the Gabriels to fail.[/QUOTE]
I have had them for about 5 years with no problems. I want to go back to something that will promote more handling over ride, so I will be removing mine, but not because they are broken.

But there is no way I would do that. It would compromise performance. If you are looking for the smoothest ride, the coilover solution gettng rid of the leaf spring is probably the best way to do it. Just make sure you put on an R&D camber brace to go with that. When the job is all done, coilovers do look frikkin A britchin on the front. Ask Raysur how it worked out... he did this and his ride looks pretty sweet...

Thanks for all the responses.

I used the Monroe site's Search feature. $38.xx each at Pep Boys.
