replacement shocks - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello,
I am in need of some advice for my girlfriend's corolla and i feel the best place to do so is here so, the story here is that the rear of my girlfriend's 92 corolla bottoms out every time there is a bump in the road. Since this was happening i took a look at the rear shocks and the left rear had oil coming out of the shock. I guess that explains why the car has been bottoming out. Anyways, does any one know where i can get some OEM replacement shocks at a really good price?

You're from the states so I don't know if these stores are there:

Napa, Kragen (heard someone from the states mention this), AutoZone, dealer (not really a good price, but still). There's probably more, but I don't know what stores are there in the states.

Maybe someone from the US will help you out.

Thanks for the advice, i haven't checked out these stores yet although i have been surfing the net and the best price i have come up with is $46 or roughly around there for each rear shock. The shock is KYB so it's a brand name and must perform good. I'm just curious if anyone else knows a place where it can be found cheaper. http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/defa...ategorycd=SHOC this is the link to where i have found the best price so far, just in case anyone else here is in the same position as I am.
hachi_slow: thanks for the advice

92corolla, this is another site you can go to. www.importrp.com

Email these guys and address it to Jeff. Tell him you were referred to them by hachi_slow, a member of Club4ag and Toyota Nation. Give him the part number you need (KYB) and tell him the price horsepowerfreaks is offering. I'm sure he'll give you a good deal.

They are good guys to deal with. They may even give free shipping for these items. Good luck.

WOW, thanks for all your help hachi_slow, I really appreciate it. Most likely i will contact them Monday and see what they can do for me. Ohh, That website (horsepower...) gives free shipping I believe so lets hope for the best. Thanks again for your help.

No problem 92corolla...just trying to help everyone out. I bought my kyb agx shocks from these guys and they gave me free shipping to canada. I basically saved over $200 cdn from the best price locally and over $500 cdn dealer price.

I'll let you know how everything works out next week.

well, i ordered the rear shocks for my girlfriends 92 corolla through http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/def...categorycd=SHOC. I did call and speak with www.importrp.com only after trying for 3 hours to get through. Well, nevertheless the prices between these two were equal with the shipping and handling being slightly less for horsepowerfreaks. I did find the service to be very helpfull at importrp.com. You can't go wrong with either one.
