2G Shocks and struts cost?

[dsm4life]

How much do they normally cost ?I dont think that mine have been replaced on my 95 Talon yet . It would hurt anything just drive like s#$@ right ?

I got my Tokico Illumina Adjustable shocks, struts and springs for a little over $400 shipped to my door. Got them off e-bay, almost always deals for them on there.

Well, it will put pressure where it need not be if you don't replace them for a LONG time, but
generally the main problem you will run into is that your tires will wear prematurely because there will be more pressure on the tires.

Although I had a alignment problem, it only took me about 6 months and then I needed to replace the tire because of bad struts. This is on a 95 Talon as well.

In terms of cost AWD cost is considerably more expensive as the rear suspension components are manufacturer only.

All in All with 4 new tires, new struts, 4x brakes and rotors, we are running in to about $700 in terms of price from Les Swab.

well i am just looking for a decent brand/type. I dont need anything crazy , im not droping it or beating the crap out of it. Do you recommend OEM or some other brand ?

I just went the OEM route, I don't remember exactly what the price of it was..I will have to look later tonight, I'll post the estimated cost. I just think its best to go OEM seeing as mitsubishi should know whats best for the car.
