I just installed a new set of Gabriel Shockers on front young blokes Subaru and all is ok, but I'm into buying another front set for my Brumby. Just interested to know if KYB are a better brand or any of u blokes out there have any recommendations.

Personally I'd go kyb over Gabriel's. KYBs were OEM, if you go genuine units they're like the factory oil filled units, aftermarket units are gas filled.
The reason I go KYBs is due to some issues other forum members had some time ago with Gabriel's. Do a forum search

I'll give the Kyb's a go and see how they perform against the Gabriels on the other Suby.

I believe the KYB part is gas charged. I could only find non gas charged KYB's in the UK and then it's a separate part number to the standard gas charged ones.
I choose KYB over all other brands but between Gabriel and KYB I thinks it's just brand preference. They are both good shock manufacturers.
