I am considering replacing my front struts with the sealed version from Univair (rear are already sealed) but wondering which model to order.

Is it better to stay with the J3 type or is there any advantage to move to the PA11 model ? Seems some people are moving to the PA11 type struts which apparently reduce the drag but not sure if this is worth it ? Any significant speed increase with the PA11 struts ?

This model is for the J3

and this one apparently for the L4/PA11/12 series (a bit cheaper)
