Shock/Struts Opinions?

Time to replace them. I believe that they are the factory originals. I have been looking at Bilstein HD. Any others i should be looking at? A friend of mine runs his own shop and told me that he could get me the complete front and rear set for 285.00. Is this a good deal or can i get them cheaper somewhere else? And btw,he never charges me for the labor. and one more thing, my car is not lowered,if that makes a difference. But i may drop it in the near future.

$285 installed for the HD's? I wouldn't contemplate very long at all - most places online sell them for around $300, then there's shipping, then you've got to install them... the deal you've got available there is (IMO) a no brainer! Get 'em!

Go with the Bilsteins. Cheapest I've seen them on the net is $300 for all 4 plus shipping.

I have them and really like the way they control the car.
