Hello.
Yup, I'll chime in.  I have P. J. Grady struts on my car.  
I tested 4 struts a while back.  P. J. Grady's, John Hervey's, 
Delorean Motor Center (California) struts were all excellent choices. 
Delorean Motor Company's were a little off, dimensionally in a very 
bad way, but that's history as far as I know.  I believe they have 
corrected that problem, so they should be excellent now, as well.  
I'd buy my next struts from either of these four vendors, based on 
geographics.
