need new Struts - 2/13/2007 1:23:09 AM    onesikZ31   Posts: 7 Joined: 2/13/2007 Status: offline I'm looking for replacment struts for a 97 Accord.  I'm new to this forum by the way, it sounds like the KYB's will be a good replacement, I want to keep the ride hight the same, I always Like Tokico's so I wanted to ask you what you thought about them for Accords?  I also called the local dealership checking on a price for the OEM struts but they were too Expensive! $116 each for the fronts and $120 each for the rears!  I can get a complete Tokico kit for $235  but I know the Kyb's are even cheaper than that, never used them so I don't know much about them, but after reading on this forum for few minutes I read someone recommending KYB's.  any thought/Help would be Great. thanks Post #: 1
