    ebay. i got mine for $230 shipped for all 4. just remember if your car is older than 3 years and especially if you live in cold climates you will need new rear endlinks because they wont come off and you'll have to cut them. just fyi so you might need to pick those up on ebay too. $50.

    just curious -- why are you getting tokicos over the kyb's? i have teins on tokico blues right now. a little rough. i went with them cause back then people said the tokicos were stiffer and a little more expensive but then later on more people were saying the kybs have a nicer ride.

    KYB's are oem replacements. Their not designed for lowered vehicles.

    yeah, but specifically the GR2's? i could be wrong, but i thought the most popular options (struts) for lowered cars for the 7th and 8th gen were kyb gr2 and tokico blues

    You should make some upgraded front endlinks too. Mine rattle something fierce, and for $50 apiece plus another alignment two months after I just put the new struts on and aligned it, they're just going to keep rattling for now.

    I have Tokicos on my Rolla w/ Tein S-techs and compared to a friend's stock '99 Civic, the ride is just barely rougher. I ask girls who ride in the car and none of them even thought the car rode roughly. You'll have to take speed bumps slower, but it's worth it, because they make driving the car 10x more fun.

    BTW, both Tokico Blues and KYB GR2s are pretty much considered OEM replacements, but they're both fine to use on mildly (ie, up to ~2.0") lowered vehicles.
