I think the choices are limited. There are Monroe shocks which are fine, a little bit softer than the originals. I think it cost about 400$ for the four corners. Other more sportier choices might give the car a harsher ride.

Thanks. I was looking at Gabriel shocks. They are sold by my local auto parts. Anyone heard of that maker?

Ended up getting Monroe OEspectrum struts and very happy with the result. My stock struts at 100k miles were worn out. Time to take her to the wheel alignment shop.

Glad it's doing the job well. Are you located in the US? What was the total price for the parts ?

Yes I'm in US. Total cost $160 shipped just for the front struts.
