No kidding, ~$250 each for bare strut. I can get KYB shipped for about $105 each. Just have to get the compressor and hope the bushings etc are all still good.

About $800 + for the plastics !!

Kyb are good struts. It’s what I used on my vehicle. But the place I bought them local ,sold out to the big stores. Btw API is owned by advance auto parts! Buy the complete quick strut, the last I’ll comment on this one, good luck

A GOOD strut spring compressor isn't portable...maybe a local repair shop will do the spring swap for 'ya ??

Very true. I need to get it back on the road, so I think API will get my business, although I'm not thrilled at the thought.
