Where do you buy struts?
Where the hell do we buy struts for this damn car? I see autozone has Gabriel struts or something for 150 each. I need new suspension BADLY.

Subaru ones are about $100 a set give or take from www.newsubaru.com, www.1stsubaru.com or www.subaruparts.com
Subaru in their idiot wisdom stores them on their side so they have a strong likely hood of failure (almost always within a few 1000 miles) but they're still under warranty. Doesn't help if you're paying labor though. |

For cheap - Subaru
For reliability - Koni (inserts) For lots of money - DMS

I wouldn't say Koni's are reliable esp as the SVX ages. I've seen quite a few SVXs with broken perches. I wouldn't go that route for reliablity. Besides, they aren't real good struts to begin with considering the price. |

I think we would both agree that they are more reliable than the "new" OEM's.
