Default rear struts..... cost?

what should it cost to get rear struts installed, what type or brand should i get? and also is there any other things that need replaced along with them?

by the way its a 92 es. i just put some 16 inch wheels on it with 215 55 16 tires and theyre rubbing over bumps which shouldnt happen because they are almost identical to factory ride height.

Cool

$100-200 for just the rears depending on what they think you'll go for (unless they have posted, standard price lists - doubtful). If the rears are shot, there is a good chance the fronts need replacing as well.

The type and brand depends on the year of your ES. The older it is, the more limited your choices will be. [Edit] Ah! You edited, so i will as well. You've a 2nd gen like mine, so you might as well check out the 2nd Generation (92-96) ES300 Suspension Reference sticky for an exhaustive list of available equipment, vendors, prices and do's/don'ts.

Replace your strut mounts and the dust boots while you're at it. If you're wanting to firm up the ride and or lower your stance, it's a good time to put some new springs on there as well (although that makes more sense with a 4-strut replacement).
