You can buy a whole set used with low miles for less then $200. Labor got to a independent shop cheaper or like above coilover. dIY and save it not that hard less then 30nin to do one shock.

Wow thanks for that. Yea I don't know about buying used. Not sure the history if they were leaking or not. I thought about it. I'm just gonna buy struts and strut mount with boot. Since my front boots are destroyed. Do it myself next week. Cost me $270 for parts. KYB.
