shock/strut OEM replacement

[dj addicted]

My shocks are pretty much blown and I am looking to swap them out with an OEM set to go with OEM springs. I'm over the whole driving a lowered car crap.

What would you all recommend for a cheap set to replace blown shocks?

Thanks

Monroe has a good name in replacement shocks for stock and nothing but stock.
They are a Autozone/ Oreillys brand.
I think if you're going stock, theyd be nice and affordable.

I've heard decent things about Monroe as well. I might have to give them a shot.

I'd spend the extra money (I dont think its that much more) and go with Tokico Blue's. Bought mine off THMotorsports.com and take 5% off using "5offive". Monroe will be fine though. Check KYB, I think they have EP3 shocks.

Just curious, what shocks/struts do you have on there now with it lowered?

Monroe is definitely the cheapest I was able to find. Around 300 shipped for all 3. I do not want a lowered car anymore. I am tired of dealing with the crap associated with a lowered car. I've been on stock struts with Tein Springs for well over 100,000 miles and over 6 years. I am happy with the life of the stock struts, I am just going to get new ones and put the stock springs back on it. The blues would be nice if I planned on keeping the car, but I plan on ditching it in a year or so. I'm completely over the import scene and ready to move on.

All 3 shocks?
You're only replacing 3 of them?
or is that a typo?

You might be able to find them cheaper at a local shop.
I know many of the garages around here, and some tire shops are Monroe dealers.
I'm sure they can offer a better pick-up price, than you would find online
But I may be wrong

Goodluck with your stock conversion!

haha yeah that was a typo. That's what happens when I type that late.

I picked up Monroes for my EP before i got rid of it... decent struts even on my S Techs. I do NOT miss working on that front end though... at ALL. lol
