KYBs are OEM replacements but with better handling properties. theyre dirt cheap too and usually in stock at your local Advance auto parts.

the process is basically the same, you will have to completely disassemble everything and reassemble on the new shocks.

KYB and Tokico both make decent stock replacements, there was actually a set of Tokicos for sale in the classifieds here last week
