Sachs Struts/Shocks

I've seen online a few places which are selling Sachs struts for a lot cheaper then KYB and such.

Since I am under the impression that the rattling noise from the gen4 camry's are JUST CAUSED BY THE STRUT MOUNT, I would assume that these struts are just a "bonus" for the firmer ride, correct?

Has anyone bought these before, or should I just get the KYB... or stay OEM and just replace the mounts?

I'm guessing no one has used them before?

Also, the KYB Strut Mounts will rid of the problem once and for all, right?

I have never even heard of "Sachs", and I use KYB GR-2 struts in my 96 Camry. As for the rattling, you should just take your car to a mechanic you trust. Have him find out what that rattling is, and go then from there. Replacing parts at random is just a waste of time and money. It's beter to pin-point the cause of the problem, than just making a wild guess.
