Stock Struts

Can someone tell me where I can find or how much stock struts are. I'm thinking of going back to stock and I want to see which is cheaper...

Thanks

front
rear
depends on which parts you need
keep in mind, you could also buy them used from people with true coilovers or some with konis

you need all 4? its about what $430. pay $100 more and get konis. i think konis would be worth it. plus you get to keep your car lowered to. i think i blew my stock shocks as well... hopefully some cheaper shocks will come out soon cause i feel every damn crack in the road.

I want to keep it lowered. but it's too low...the wheel well covers the back tires...I don't like it, I have to get different springs I think

I have progress spring on my car....I think that I am going to have to get different springs too. Apparently Tokico makes non-adjustable racing struts for our car. I've asked the guy multiple times and he insists that they are for our car. I dunno...

how did i know.. progress springs IMO give the worst look.
who have you asked about tokicos? i called them directly and they said it wont be out till atleast early next year. but ya someone here said they have them on their car already. sounds weird when tokico said that they havnt even started working on them yet.
but ya i would get different set of springs. and if you could get tokicos great, let us know how much and where. i'm thinking they're going to be around the same price as koni inserts, this being that tokicos are supposed to be full struts.

supposedly they are $80 a piece, but are non-adjustable, so I'm not sure...I will let you know what I find out

What is your suggestion on springs...I want to raise the back a little bit...

I hate the ride so much that I am tempted to change it all back to stock...

how do you like the current height? is it too high? too low? progress is like a 2" drop. something a little lower would be neuspeed race which is 2.25". something a little higher would be neuspeed sports 1.75". but ya cant go wrong with neuspeeds drop. i have neuspeed sports and have 1 finger gap all around with 215-40-18 tires. i wish i would have gotten the race tho.
but ya dont go back to stock, a new set of springs and some konis will fix your problem.
