need struts - where to buy on line? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Dan in NY on  Mon Jul 26 13:17 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The struts on my 855 T-5 need to be replaced. I'm looking to get the basic OEM Boge-Sachs that came with the car...the best price I can find on line thus far is $105/each at autohausaz.com. Have already tried IPD, OEMAutoParts.com and eEuroparts.com but all are higher. Any thoughts on where else to look for the best price? Thanks.

Bare in mind that if you're replacing the strut-mount and the rubber bushing, as well as rear shock mounts, the total cost of those mounts can be 2/3 the cost of the struts and shocks. I just replace the entire set myself. Got the mounts from FCP but the Bilstein TC from some place else.

Does the Bilstein transformed the ride and handling? My T5R is running on Koni adjustable right now and is too hard for the road in Hong Kong.

I got my Boge's from FCP Groton. $85 each for struts, and $45 each for shocks. Not a bad price.
