How do I find struts for my civic?

Like in ebay do I need to type in "civic" and the year, or are they all just about standard? I'm trying to find some cheap replacements because the stock ones are leaking.

tokico hp are pretty good. and they changed struts for some years. i think 01-02 is different from 04-05.

When you buy off EBay be carful, there’s a lot of junk front-end parts on there. I took the bait once and bought upper and lower ball joints that had to be replaced in 6 months.

When it comes to front-end parts buy from an auto parts store, and if you’re replacing struts some stores have loner spring compressors. Shop around, the same part at one store will be 20% less down the road.

If they sell you the wrong part its and easy swap, with eBay your banging your head against the wall.
