Install was super easy (as always with Macpherson's
Hadn't heard of this brand, nor could I find many reviews, but i took a shot.I recently bought a used Lexus ES350 with somewhat worn shocks, so I can only compare the ride to OEM shocks with 75,000 miles on board.Install was super easy (as always with Macpherson's, you will need an alignment after) and a non-professional twice-over speaks highly of build quality; at least from a visual and tactile point of view, these are at least as good as the OEM parts I removed.These springs are thicker than my originals; that alone doesn't provide a spring rate comparison, but there you have it.My initial ride around the block seemed fairly stiff, which had me a little worried. More specifically, I could feel every small imperfection, yet the harsher bumps were glossed over.After maybe 40 miles, either I've grown accustomed to it, or the components have all settled, because the ride seems 100% better. More controlled, slightly firmer, but no more see-saw or side-to-side sway.After taking it on the highway, I was sold. This car feels brand-new, and at fast speeds not a single bump/rut/pothole seems to upset it.I can't compare to a fresh, OEM ES350, but I can say that this is how the car Should ride. Enough travel to soak up the nasty bumps, stiff enough to feel confident when performing emergency maneuvers, still rides like a luxury/comfort cruiser.I will update if anything changes.

Junk. (Appears from reviews that maybe they were okay a few years ago.)
Absolute junk. They rattle and provide no apparent shock absorption. Drove around for a few hundred miles over the last month, though generally opting to use other car when it became apparent that the sound or performance was not going to improve They sound like metal parts thumping around the car. I contacted Detroit Axle and got no response. I have contacted Amazon and am waiting for a reply. Either way, I am ordering new shocks, and certainly not from Detroit Axle.Update: Online this item is listed has having a 90 day warranty. When you contact the seller (actually, they never replied to me, though Amazon did get an answer), they report it is a 30 day warranty. Yet another impressive attribute of Detroit Axle.

Good fit!
This strut worked perfect for my Camry hybrid 2009. It was no need for doing any modification or retrofitting.

Just right
I bought both the right and left strut assembly's and they fit perfectly with no issues whatsoever.Saved a whole bunch of money too. I'd call that perfection. Way to go Detroit Axle and Amazon!
