hunting for struts
I'm looking for a set of new struts and the price I got for individually buying the four comes up to 586 $ on oemacuraparts.com. Is this price good ? Is there any place I can buy the full set for a lower price ?
Question 2, Is there any aftermarket struts made for our cars ?
I will be putting H&R springs on with the new struts.

The full Aspec setup is the same price or cheaper than OEM from what I remember. If you are going lower, I would go with Aspec struts, and try to sell the springs. You probably won't get much, but any money back would be better than OEM. The Apecs can also tolerate lowering better than OEM.
As far as aftermarket, I think KYB is the only option, but honestly, they are probably crap.

Do u have any link for the full A-spec kit ? If it come's cheaper, I'll take those but I'll be stuck with 3 sets of Aspec springs in the end cuz I already have 2 sets of those.

i would recommend the Apsec setup for H&R. it can handle the lowered suspension. i sold my Aspec springs used for $175. so you can make most of your money back on the cost of H&R. and i must say its pretty comfy also reassuring you have a strut to know it can handle the lowering

Also: the Aspec suspension kit is still available. If purchasing the shocks individually one of the four has been discontinued

If you end up taking them, respond here so that others don't bother them continuously
