Default Rear Shocks Suggestions

My right rear shock has been leaking for a while, and I've put it off for far too long. I'm looking for an affordable replacement that keeps the ride height as close to stock as possible. This is a daily driver for me, so I could honestly care less about ride quality. I'm just looking for affordability and for the shock to last. I'm leaning towards the KYB Gas-A-Just on tirerack. Is there another place I can get these for cheaper? Should I replace the shock boot as well while I'm at it?

That's a good replacement option. Yeah, while in there, you will want to replace everything you can. Just make sure the new, aftermarket shock doesn't already come with one.

I will suggest not getting Tokico blues. They are stiffer than stock and its noticeable with stock springs.
