Hey i went in to get a safety certificate today, its been a year since the last one and they hit with with a $850 bill to get it approved. Car runs fine, never had any problems with it. The other $250 was for breaks.

$600 just to replace the rear struts seems high to me, i called a few wreckers and none have any spare parts, so should i try to find somewhere cheaper or is this price about right.

The car is a SC300 94 model, has about 85,000k

Last time I checked at AutoOne, rear shocks were about $150 ea. So, 2 times that and half an hours labor - $350.

Of course you can spend obscene amounts on coilovers.
