If I was you i'd find used but good shape stock assemblies. There are plenty available, from people who often removed them almost new.

The LCA from rockauto will cost dollars.

Reading you, I feel like this would be the smartest move. The need for an upgrade is absolutely inexistent, and you run the risk of not liking a stiffer valved shocks or higher spring rated springs.

Good luck,

Good luck,
Having put 100k+ miles on these shocks on PA Roads, I think all new shocks and strut mounts aren't the worst idea. Might as well just bite the bullet and do them all if one (aka two) need to be done.

My current plan is to keep the OEM springs, as my car already scrapes at the bottom of my driveway if I can't take an angled entry. (Yay city living). Also, I can't imagine driving in the city with a lower car.

I'm going with my shop's recommended LCA, as that's pretty much all he uses and he's never had any problems. I forget what product he said.
