Where to buy new struts?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I've been searching & reading threads on suspension for about two hours now and can't seem to find a recommended place for buying struts.

My 2002 Civic EX has about 140,000 miles on it and to my knowledge has the stock struts. The car has a very poor ride and I'm pretty sure the front right strut is blown. From what I've read, it seems like it would be best if I change all of the struts at the same time (front & rear), so I'm trying to find a good deal. AAP sells KYB struts, but they are $150 a piece and that seems a little high.

I don't have any interest in lowering the car.

With that in mind, I have two questions:

1. Should I go for the KYB GR-2's, or the Tokico Blue's?
2. Is there a place that sells a package with all of the front and rear struts at a discount?

Thanks!

I thought they would be more expensive and not as good.
