Good day, gentlemen. I have recently purchased a 2001 Honda Civic LX standard transmission with 181,000 miles. I need new struts for the two front wheels. I won't be doing the work myself, but will be purchasing the parts. As you know, I have the option of just buying struts or buying the full assembly with shocks and mounts. I don't have top money to spend but also don't want to get the cheapest quality out there. Looking for advice on what brands are good and also where to buy them. Thank you in advance.

Struts work best. If you are having someone else perform the work is going to cost more $$$ for you. Tokico, Koni, or KYB are all great brand. Changing them yourself will save you $$.

Thank you very much, gentlemen. I would love to save the money and do the work myself but I am not that mechanically knowledgeable and don't have any tools. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I guess I will replace the whole strut assembly.

Remember, your springs should be good for the lifetime of the car. Make sure you replace the "hats" as well! At least parts 10&11 here:
