Question Need HELP! Gabriel Air Shocks

So as you all know. Im rolling on some busted *** monroe shocks that I bought new and guess what 2 weeks later they **** up on me. well as shoppin at autozone, out of curiosity I ask one of the employee how much are the shocks for a 2000 camaro. she points out the gabriel air shocks for 65 a pair. I like how my dads 72 ss nova and his 69 chevelle look with their air shocks how it gives it a mean offset. I wanna know is gabriel a good brand and also have any of you had on air shocks.

I bought a set for $27 a piece and they only lasted for about 5,000 miles then they started riding like crap. It is a good shock to get you by if it is not a daily driver. I switched to KBY adjustables they were like $80 a piece. 35,000 miles later and they still ride like new. Your roads in LA are probably alot nicer then here in michigan but goodluck!

there is a reason they are that cheap. the shocks that are cheap but still work well are the SLP Bilsteins. $313 on summit racing for all 4
