I need advise on what shocks to get

"Gas Charged Struts made by Monroe. The part number is 81217" I saw these online for $62 shipped... I need new rear shocks cuz mine are blown... are the Monroe's good shocks? and is this a good deal?

dont waste your time, cause if you plan on upgrading sooner or later, you just blew over 120$$ on basically stock shocks... go out on a limb and spend the bigger money on adjustable shocks...i have the kyb agx's im my car and they work extremely well....
good luck

Those will be fine if thats all you can afford. KYB's and Tokico's are real expensive, but thats the price you pay for performance. If you do want to shell out the extra bucks though get some KYB AGX's, they are awesome. I can't remember where it was but somewhere had the whole set selling for under $400, a VERY sweet deal.

$62 is kind of a ripoff for monroematics. I'm night mgr at an auto parts store and I'm selling the same shock for $19.99 retail.
