    Hey guys, quick question for those who may know the answer..

    First, I'm from Canada, so Canadianlinks would be preferred unless the price difference is great compared to usa sources.

    So my touring models suspensions have finally has come to an end but I'm getting quotes of over $1000 for oem struts alone (not the installation).

    If someone knows where I can get the entire kit (front/back for my touring model (oem or close), that would be fantastic. I see KYB struts on Ebay and all but Im not too sure on technicals as I am not much a car guy or mechanic. But I can have my friend install them for me if I was to provide all the parts.

    Thank you guys once again!

    Welcome to Priuschat !!

    Without knowing how many miles, or how harsh the roads are there..

    The KYB option should work out fine. Were you looking at the *new* all-in-one, or the single strut/shock option?

    All in one? Never heard of this. Im assuming these are better.. if so, do you have a part number for both front and back? Or a link to the parts?

    The total km is 350,000km. Never done suspensions on the car sadly.

    Also can I get a completes parts list of all the stuff I would need for this (front and back).

    So Strut-Plus is the new all in 1 kit. Its perfect for the front. Now Im having issues finding the complete kit for the rear. I assume there is no rear strut plus for this car.

    Since not, can someone guide me to the parts and part number required (KYB only) to assemble the entire rear strut so it becomes a plug and play option.

    I get my parts from the wrench monkey. I think they are based in Ontario, have good prices and free shipping in Canada. They have the OEM KYB loaded struts and most of the KYB separate parts. I am just ordering a front strut from them today for my 08.

    They do have rear loaded struts too but they are Monroe instead of KYB

    Thank you. Will go KYB in this case and just build the rear with kyb parts.
