Default Rear struts - aftermarket suggestions?

Hey all, noticed my rear drivers side strut is leaking. I'm having a bit of trouble sourcing a used OEM one locally in Chicago on short notice, so I'll probably end up replacing both of the rears with aftermarkets if I absolutely can't find a OEM replacement. What are the suggested brands that are the same as/similar to OEM performance for these cars?

In the same boat. Just got my H&Rs put on. Tech lets me know the shock is leaking. Not much , but a leak is a leak in my book. Im looking at the KYB gas adjust. Im gonna eat some crow here and admit that I should have gotten coil overs.

No aftermarket will give you the smoothness and comfort of OEM suspension.

Try buying a used used one in classified?
I, for one, have OEM struts in my garage because I replaced them with coils.
