Not a part I'd personally purchase at the JY. Check your auto stores for prices (you can check nearly all of them online).

What do you consider spendy? autozone has them out in the isles. They were less than 20 bucks for the pair if i remember correctly. cheap.

Re: Hood Shocks

The hatch shocks are much more... SOME places give you a LIFETIME replacement garantee. I know Murrays did, I had to replace them once after 9 years and the sales person told me that I must have installed them wrong... He gave me a replacement set tho.
