i think it's 60$ each on tirerack.com for KYB ?... it's a fairly easy job... let me see if i can remmeber all the steps...

remove rear seat..there's 2 tabs under the seat..pull forward of the car and lift up..... and 2 12mm bolt on each side holding the rear seat back on... 1 10mm bolt... losen the 3 12mm nuts... not all the way yet... remove the wheel..... there's 2 19mm bolts/nuts needs to be losen/taken off... impact gun would be best but it can be done with a breaker bar and long pipe... brake line's gotta come off.... now u take off the 3 12mm top bolts.. wedge the spring/strut out of the wheel well... get a spring compressor.. there's 1 19mm nut with nylon holding the strut mount on... impact gun is the only way it's gonna come off... and that's about it... assemble in reverse steps.. bleed brakes and stuff... just need to becareful putting the strut mount onto the strut.. there's a grove on there and it only goes in that way or else your strut's going to be clunking around every bump..... may be 1-2 hrs each side? i did all 4 with help from a friend in 3 hrs.... and lastly get an alignment
