Replacement shocks/struts 97 ES

Does anyone have any ideas on replacements? I was thinking maybe KYB or something. The car has 82k and maybe selling it soon. Thanks in advance..

Why sink the money into it only to sell it? The next owner will not pay you the actual dollars added for shocks/labor over what the street value of your car is worth.

I'd say go with the KYBs. I have them on my car with the Tanabe springs and I'm happy with them. Besides the price isnt too bad either.

I know I've seen them on ebay but surprisingly I got mine at a auto parts store in my area. They had them in stock too. I think I got the fronts and rears for right at $300.

I found some on ebay and the price is reasonable. Check your local stores first you may be able to save a little on shipping. I got mine from Salvo Auto but I think they have them at Pep Boys as well.

Here's the rears: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYB-G...QQcmdZViewItem
