Default BWI vs Dunlop air struts

I know BWI is supposedly OEM, but how does Dunlop compare? I need to replace 2 struts both on one side so buying in pairs isn’t an option right now.

Dunlop was an OEM supplier but I think just for service parts, not on the line. I would probably go with BWI over Dunlop but really either should be perfectly fine. Just make sure you purchase from a proper source, not Amazon or eBay where most are fakes.

I'd get a pair of used, 2 new on same side and you'll be driving in circles . Seriously you will have weird handling issues.

lrparts.net is where I was looking. But have no idea on shipping costs.

For the two fronts I got form them, I think shipping was about $120 or about. Which was still overall far cheaper than any US source.

edit: It was more than that, $165.00 for the pair. For two fronts it was $440.00 plus the shipping.
