Gabriel Mounts ok with KYB's?

I plan to by some of the highly praised KYB's, but I'm wondering if Gabriel Mounts would be a good combo.

The Gabriel mounts (from Autozone) are much cheaper than the KYB mounts I see on-line. Anyone have any experience with Garbriel mounts? Also, should I go ahead & change the boots if they look ok?

Re: Gabriel Mounts ok with KYB's?

I would be careful using either Gabriel or Monroe brand aftermarket upper strut mounts and load bearings. You may get what you pay for. Stick with either GM/AC Delco or the KYB mounts. Some people have complained about clunking or popping sounds when using certain aftermarket products like Monroe. However, no complaints about Gabriel that I know of to date.

If the strut accordian boots are not damaged then just clean up the old ones and reuse.
