Question 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?)

Go to Pep Boys for Autozone or some cheap struts.... they're cheap and work fine.

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.

Naaaaa.... I would buy new. You never know what you are gonna get that way. Heck, they may be close to bad too. I would never do that. But, that's just me.

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.

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.
