i found that using the ebay store called axle store. They have the shocks that are on my 97 rl which are great in New Yorks potholes.

 

If you dont want to go to your local dealer there was a guy on here from one of the online acura oem parts stores, think his name was "partsguy" or something, they sell oem parts from their dealership at less outrageous prices, im not sure if we get discounts for being acurazine members but we might iono. I bought some rims off them awhile back, saved me a bunch of money

 

I would also check out shox.com for shock options. Right now I am doing the Koni Shock upgrade on my 04.

 

Good evening all, I have a "04 Rl and the rear seems to be setting pretty low does this mean I need shocks? or do i have have struts that need to be replaced. All help would be greatly appreciated.

Your shocks may be blown in the back if it is sagging a lot. It seems like the only option is to do KYB replacements or go OEM. Since you have the 04 you would want to stick with the OEM since they valved it firmer than the previoous years. Your next option is you can run Koni Shocks from the 91-95 Legend and put them in for the rears as it is a straight swap. If you decide to do the fronts you can as well, but you would need to locate the lower forks, brake bracket, and lower spring perch to use the Legend Koni front struts.
