Where can I get some aftermarket struts?

2002 STS

Where can I get some good aftermarket rear struts? OEM would cost me $1600 for the rear two while aftermarket would cost me $800 at Advance Auto. I want to make sure that everything is compatible. I don't want a check suspension message all the time. Will aftermarket struts be compliant? Is Advance Auto as good of a place to get them as any?

Thanks!

Make sure that you get the ones for the correct suspension. Speaking from experience, the ones that you can get from the aftermarket are F45 suspension system shocks. If your shocks are that much (mine were) then they are probably the F55 shocks. I don't think they will work. However, if you were able to get them to work, what suspension system do you have? And if you have the F55 suspension system, then where did you end up buying your shocks?

there plenty of parts at a pretty good deal at ebay. you can also check online stores. a couple of months ago I purchased these GM shock absorbers, got it at a discount.
