Rep Power: 0 NOT lowering! Just want OEM replacements!
I am not into lowering my car. I have the original struts and they are shot! I just want to replace them with something like the OEM. I can buy online and have them shipped to me cause I have help installing them.
What is the best deal out there for a 2002 EX Sedan? Again, just want to replace OEM for a comfortable ride. Not into performance so much. I drive normal. This is important: I do not want to mod something to make fit! What fits my car where I just install? Honda Civic EX 2002 Sedan Auto.
Thanks.
(ps. I need them all the way around...front and back. Are the fronts different than the rears?)

Rep Power: 0 Called around yesterday. PepBoys was VERY expensive just for the shocks. CarX was the most reasonable to have it done. Right around $600 out the door. Tire Discounters were about the same. The struts were Monroe. Now, if I do it myself I'd save about $150 but is it worth my time and no warranty? Hmmm..... What if somethng else is bad? Maybe I should just get an estimate first before doing anything. Thanks for the info. I might just have it done, not sure yet. For $150 that might be worth just not having to deal with it.

Rep Power: 261 I'm the same way, so your not alone. If I needed new struts and shocks I'd upgrade a lil, cause stock is usually the bottom line. You can usually go up a lil and they won't be pure performace but more comfort. idk...just my opinion.

Rep Power: 275 If he just wants stock replacements why pay the extra for adjustability that will never be used? Tokico was the way to go, good choice.
