As far as price for struts goes...
Monroe or KYB will probably cost $85-100 shipping included for each strut at a local parts store. Which will often beat online prices after adding shipping.
Someone on Ebay always has pairs of Gabriel/McPhearson struts starting at around $50 + $20 shipping, each auction. A good price, but I wonder about the quality.
