If your going to sell the car id put in these cheapys. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-MON...mZ130256036480
Unlessthe guy your selling to really knows his stuff i would think you shouldnt have a problem. i dont think a tire kicker will care what kind, he or she will just hear "new Struts" and be happy.

Just curious about why you're replacing if you're selling the car?

a lot of people replace simple things before we sell em. some people get a hard-on when they hear and see "new shocks and struts"
