Where to purchase new OEM shocks

After all the response from the list, I am going to replace the shocks with OEM, since the aftermarket seem to give a firmer ride and I want a softer ride. I understand the front are just the shocks and an easy replacement and the rears are the shock/spring unit and more difficult. I understand I need the 03 units, since they appear the have the best settings over the older units. Does anyone know, Drew, if I need the 01, 02, or 03 units? And what should I expect to pay????
Where can I purchase the OEM except the dealer. Clair doesn't have them and *** does not either.

RE: Where to purchase new OEM shocks

Claire does have them as they are a dealer but they won't be listed on the site. You have to call, but for sure they have the part and will be cheaper than your local dealer.


I bought my new rear shocks from PGauto.com for $100 each but they are not the 03 version. I will say they were a definite upgrade from the 98 version though.
