I do see them from time to time on ebay for $20/ea...but that price I think is about the going rate. I am sure somewhere someone is selling them cheaper...but to get them quickly that seems to be the going rate.
thanks for the link - i just bought 4 KYB GR2 struts from car-stuff.com today. saved $42 over tirerack.com
They ship to Canada.....wow
Order Total: $240.59 US shipped they claim...
i need new ones so this is nice
wow, my order total was $166 for the 4 struts but shipping was free of course. shipping to Canada must be expensive :icon_eek:
ya there is a place here i have to get the $ again and see if its a better deal but nice to have options
I finally bought a set of 4 KYB GR2's for my TGP from a local shop here in Kitchener called Marken's Performance. I paid $347 CDN taxes included for the set, and he had them in the next day.
I already have the front cartridges in, have to get new jounce bumpers for the back before I put them in.
I figured that by the time you take currency exchange and duty/brokerage fees into account, that it wasn't a bad price.

Matt,
Was that for all 4 including rear mounts and boots? or just the front cartridges and rear struts???
Edit:
Here are the prices I got from a guy in Brampton Ont.
Front inserts 65.99 each
Rear struts 74.61 each
That was just for the cartidges and struts. The KYB mounts and boots were all special order so I got some Monroe ones from Canadian tire.
Those prices are very close to what I paid (don't have the bill in front of me) I'll look at the bill tonight and post prices.
Dug up my bills. I paid $66 CDN each for the front cartridges, and $85 CDN each for the rear struts + tax. I purchased these at Marken Performance on Ottawa St. in Kitchener.
My Monroe rear mount & boot kits which include the mount, boot, jounce bumpers and hardware cost $59 CDN each + tax. I purchased these at Canadian Tire on Weber St. in Waterloo.
I tried the place in Brampton and they would not reply to my emails, i called and was put on hold for 30 minutes and then hung up on by some foreigner who could not speak english...
needless to say they can go F**K themselves
i ordered a set online shipped UPS from Canada to my door for $343.44 CDN taxes in
2 front cartrages
2 rear assemblies

i DO NOT recommend buying anything from car-stuff.com!
i ordered all four struts on the 5th. got a tracking number shortly afterwards. box arrived on time (the 14th) but only included the rear struts. i had no other tracking number so i tried calling them on the 15th and was put on hold forever so i finally gave up. i sent them an email on the 16th asking them where my front struts were. still no reply at all. so i tried calling again (16th) and was put on hold for 10 minutes then i'm stuck talking to some guy i can barely understand. he finally tells me that the front struts were shipped from a different warehouse and are on the way. i asked him to email me the tracking number and still haven't gotten any email from them. front struts still have not arrived.
i would have rather spent a little more at tirerack.com than to save a few bucks and sit here and hope i get my front struts :icon_evil:
Mine will be here tomorrow :icon_eek:
35.7 lbs worth of Struts ;)
got them this morning!!!
thats speedy service!!!!!
Wow
