STRUTS
I may have to replace the struts. One garage said that they are about $230 ea and boots $120 (I don't think I need to replace the boots unless they are ripped right). Kinda high in price. Be about $2200 with alignment. Now CTC has regular(?) ones and then better ones. The better ones are about $170 ea. Please give me some insight on this. I don't want to get ripped off. Thanks.

Re: STRUTS
You can get kyb gr-2 struts on psituning.ca for $125. They are supposed to be good struts for stock replacment. The price seems a little high cause i have seen them on US sites for $50, but its still alot cheaper then the prices you have listed.
Re: STRUTS
holy **** they are raping you ripping you off dude... you can pick up tockico blues for like 99 bucks each on psituning.com it think that canadian site is and eiback pro kit spring for 340
so your looking at 800 bucks for all struts and springs and better performance and lowered all in one hit for 800. Labour shouldnt be as high as they are charging.
Boots are even cheaper then the rest of the ****.

and go get them aligned after for what? around 100$...so 1050 you have a car dropped with some nice springs installed and alligned 
oh and those prices are cad$

Re: STRUTS
seriously please don't pay all that money for what your mechanic quoted you. I put intrax lowering springs on, kyb gr-2's, kyb mounts, new bellows(the plastic covering), strut bars, and an alignment from sears for about 700(u.s. currency) thats a lot of redone suspension that works great and handles like a totally different car for half of what ur guys wants.

Re: STRUTS
BabyBlue has got the right idea. Just had A-Spec in Toronto install KYB struts and B&G springs. What a difference
