Default Best deal on struts/shocks?

Need to replace one of the front struts and figured I should just go ahead and change all of them since it's got a lot of miles. Found the front Monroe's for $70 each and the rear Bilstein's $69.

Is this pretty much bottom dollar for a standard set? $250's not bad, but usually if you buy a full set, places will give a discount - I just can't find any sites selling the entire set. Any help is appreciated.

Thats a good price for the rears. I paid about 90 for each, but they were the sport. As for the fronts you can buy direct from Direct JPLV Porsche Parts.com for $87.

I don't think I would put the cheap monroe's on when you can the real deal for only $34 more.

Thanks for the update.

I found OEM sport for $79 each + shipping from a dealer in SC (they have a bit lower prices than Gaudin)

The front Bilstein's are only $94, how do the OEM ones compare to this brand?

When I put replacements on, I have always used KYB, but there's nothing available for this car.

The OEMs are Bilsteins. That's who makes them.


What dealer has them for 79. At that price I might just get a set even though I don't really need them.

Hampton Automotive
The best dealership I've seen so far in terms of customer service + they have the lowest prices.
