In a word, Tokicos. Lifetime warranty, and they work great for me. Eibach
springs are recommended, but I don't think they'd be neccessary... anyway,
um, I can't help you for labour as I did my own... took about 1.5 hours each
side for the fronts, and I haven't done the back yet (slacker!).  Somebody
who knows what the hell they're doing (not me, I actually managed to destroy
a halfshaft in the process) should be able to do it in about half an hour
per side, so 2 hours of labour. I'm just guessing here... somebody on the
list here can do a strut in 60 seconds, on video. I can't remember who it
is... Ron? George? meh... I'm gonna slap myself for not knowing.

How mechanically inclined are you? The struts really aren't that hard to
change, once you understand the suspension. I didn't know diddly squat about
cars and I managed to bungle through it and it came out pretty good!

Anything else is just too durn soft... IMHO

The struts on my 93 MTX are decimated.  Anyone have (1) recommendations for 
replacement struts and (2) a general idea of what an acceptable price would 
be for labor to install them?

Thanks!
