Rockauto is WAY cheaper unless you don't want to wait on shipping. Gabriel struts are also a bit cheap when it comes to quality.

I know rockauto is cheaper, no I'm not trying to wait. They also only have 1 right side strut, and no left.
Not really caring too much about quality, as anything new is gonna be better than whats in there now. At the price, I'll take the chance, and see how they are. All I need to know is if these are correct for my car. They say for FE7 suspension on autozone.com, isn't the suspension in my car FE3?
Just trying to get as much info as I can before buying, I don't want to buy the wrong part.

So you'll pay 54.99 from Autozone rather than get a better brand from RockAuto, which they have both sides for?

No RA doesn't have the LS Gabriel pn listed because that brand is only being sold as a close out. Take the $110 you are thinking of spending at Autozone and buy two Monroe versions at $42.79 ea which are guaranteed better than Gabriel struts, or spend just a bit more and get KYB's which fit FE1 and FE3 suspension.

Also if you know anything about a Beretta suspension you would know that FE7 simply refers to a different spring being used and a tab on the strut body that allows the direct acting sway bar to bolt to it(at least regarding design changes). Unfortunately aftermarket companies did NOT vary the valving in the struts like GM, so it doesn't matter what suspension you have the strut will probably perform less than original FE3 equipment. Closest match with valving may be KYB's since i know for a fact they are stiffer than the Monroe's and Gabriels.

I don't want to come off sounding like a prick, but you've asked this same question pretty much about your 95 as well when you wanted KYB PN's... hence my response.

rockauto shipping has been quick for me in the last 6 months... (3-4 orders, 2 days total for shipping each time)
