I was on a budget and went with KYB, but if I were to do it again I'd say Tokico.

get mounts, boots, and bumpstops.

i get my struts from www.shox.com gurantee lowest price and i believe they have free shipping on Koni and Tokicos. oh and no problems with warranty issues if you need to send and defective stuff back.

i had a worn set (very worn) of toks and i sent them back and few weeks later a check came in. not bad enh?

so how does this work?
they will match a price and give you free shipping if the other vendor is charging shipping.
IF the the place is offering free shipping they will beat their price by 5%.
is this right...?

GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICES
You will find our SHOXSHOP on line pricing much lower than local shops, dealers, and catalog companies. We update it daily to stay extremely competitive. If you are a "shop till you drop" internet surfer and come across a lower price (they may shop us and make it a few dollars lower for spite), we now have a way for you to save even more money. We will not only match the lower price but will ship it to you for free (anywhere in the Continental United States). If they offer free shipping, we'll beat their price by 5%. To take advantage of this, you must use the order form below.

I buy from them, and I get a discount off of the "retail" price no matter what the price is.
So I can match their price (i have an agreement with them)

Had problems finding KYB, then found that Advance Auto stocks them. They usually have a distribution point in each city, as well, if they aren't in your closest store. HTH
