I have purchased this brand before although not for our C7, they may very well produce for GM.

Call your local auto parts store. I think that these things are pretty much commodities and while they may not have struts suitable for C7 in stock they probably can have them in a day or two.

I did exactly that for some reason Napa price was almost 100% more than Autozone not sure why. I had started this thread after getting Napa's price before I went to Autozone.

Thanks

Hey, supply and demand works, and the market sets the fair price. Who knew?

(Glad you found your struts.)

Be very careful with anything "critical" from AutoZone. I've had some adequate stuff (well, a couple relays most recently), but some real junk... from wiper-blades (one flew off the car the first time my wife drove with it--no, I didn't install it) to a leaky "new" master-cylinder, to name a couple. I'm using two NAPA hood struts on one of my custom-builds that have been on for years with no issues. Just my experience; of course today's AutoZone and NAPA struts may be made on the same Chinese assembly-line. All the best, in any event.
