Default Hood Struts

What has been your experience when replacing the hood struts with Strongarm vs Stabilus?

It is not the manufacturer to be concerned with but rather the pressure exerted by the struts...has to be correct for application. They are all good and inexpensive enough to replace when fails.

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, my question was more in terms of quality of construction and durability between equivalent and appropriate replacements from those 2 manufacturers.

Strongarm are made in U.S.A.
Sometimes that means well made, sometimes not. I've used Stabilus on Toyotas with good results.
