struts

so as i posted the other day, im new to this site and just got my CL. I brought it to my mechanic today and he went right though it.... turns out i need a new radiator, a rear caliper, b pipe of the exhaust and rear struts... close to 1000 dollars in parts and labor

and i thought i got a good deal for 5 grand.

anyone have any suggestions of best bang for your buck struts?

kyb gr-2, they are pretty cheap and i love the way they feel.. you can usually get a complete set front and back for 170$. these are tons better than stock ones. the radiator, go to a junk yard.. do you have a 2.x or 3.0 cl. i think they are both the same anyways. the caliper you can get at autozone

alot of people will try to take you for alot of money.. 1g for a rear caliper and radiator and struts.. thats rediculous.. all parts maybee 350$. if you go and buy them.. check ebay for the struts.. you can use the same ones for a 94-97 accord. weather you have a v6 or 4 cyl. the rear caliper is the same one for 2.x, and 3.0, and it only costs 55$. the radiator is 150$ new so im sure you can find one cheaper by shoppin around..
