All I know is that when I bought struts from Subaruparts.com they had gone up in price. I thought I had recalled that they were about $350-360/set and they had jumped up to $400/set when I bought. Still about the cheapest around- I don't even want to think how much my local dealer would want for a full set. Bummer, but installation went slick and easy and it definitely helped the ride. For merely a $58 'deposit', I was able to 'borrow' a set of spring compressors from Checker Auto (without even having to buy something from them!!) I thought that at 120,000+ mi's. they were probably 'due'.

Do it!
