Just ordered some TRW shocks/struts

They were $34 CDN each for the front, $16 for the rear.

Part numbers JGM4280S and JGT4964S. On rockauto, where I ordered the parts from, the struts were described as sport version, while there was no such mention for the shocks. I did look them up on the TRW site and both seemed to be the shorter option, so I hope they match.

Anyone know anything of TRW dampers? I didn't even know they existed, and all a web search yielded was a few threads from India, where they seem to have good reviews. I'm guessing they could be rebranded, but not sure. Don't really know what to expect... Stay tuned I guess!

Sounds like a good experiment. Mark the mileage and date, so you'll know how long they last.

Good luck,

PH

I suspect they're re-branded ZF (Sachs). ZF owns TRW.

Their swaybar links are the cheapest garbage I've received at work to install on customer cars
no idea on their struts though

Ok i received them... And feel kind of "meh" about them. Haven't compared the struts to anything yet, but the shocks are the same length, but softer than USED Sachs. They are also thinner, and also made in Germany fwiw. I'm going to either use these as spare or sell them.
