Looking for Front strut and Rear Shocks
Hi,
New guy here :) I'm looking to replace my Front strut and rear shocks. I've read a lot of the threads about the replacing the struts and shocks and it seems that Koni yellow is the best bang for the buck. I have a 2008 GT 2.0. I got the car certified used from Agincourt Mazda and has driven the car for 20K and it already needs work. The dealership quoted me $854 to replace front struts and $520 to replace the rear shocks, which I think is very expensive for OEM parts. My budget is about $600.00 to get them replaced. I know my budget is on the lower side but after Agincourt charged me $400 to replace my rear rotors and breaks, I cant really spend that much.
I could really use some help. If anyone knows a good deal for the parts and labor, let me know!
Thanks!

Try looking into Koni products. I have the oranges which are a good OEM replacement.
you can also find a good used pair of yellows for your price range.

Glad to know I can get this done in my price range rather paying the dealership $1400! I'm going to continue looking for stores that sells them and compare the prices. I'm going to aim for the yellows, but I'm definitely considering the orange for the price.
If you can suggest any place where I can get the struts please let me know!

If your keeping the car stock why not get Monroe or something?
