    Hey guys, I'm new to the Forum and have a lot of questions, but for now I'll just go ahead and ask my first question.

    I'm looking for some shocks and struts for my 3rd generation 2 wheel drive, it has no lift or anything it's stock.

    I'm on a super tight budget and would like some input on which shocks and struts to get.

    I've priced everything from bilesteins, to kym, to Gabriel.

    I'd like to keep it below $200.

    What's the best bang for my buck?

    kyb or monroe are going to be your cheapest options, try a parts store or rock auto for the best prices

    How's the quality of the two on a 1-10 scale?

    As far a reliability and longevity go, I'd give them a 6 or 7
