Anyone know where I can find a set of rear struts/shocks for my 1994 Q45 Base. I have new Tokico’s for the front, but I can’t find anything for the rears. I’m not looking at lowering it I just want to keep the stock setup. I have found oem but I’m not paying $500 for struts when the car is only worth $1000

Weigh your options... Scrap it. Sell it. Crash it. Or pay for OEM parts. 200-250 a piece for struts. $900-5000 for suspension.

Curious if you have the '94-96 specific front Tokico's, or if you really have 90-93 parts...if so, are you going to change the 3rd link or re-bush the lower mount for the strut?

I have the blues for the 1993 and I’m going to put 94 lower bushings in the strut. I believe there is only a few mm difference so I may try to bore them out. I haven received them yet so I’ll make the decision when I get them. The hard part is finding the rears. I got both fronts for $80

I just ordered my rears from Japan. List price Is $231. Discount brought them to around $195 shipping is $110 but I have a bunch of other things coming with then. I think that is the only option for rear struts other than coil overs sets

I just ordered some kingpin bearings from Amayama and I was looking at the shocks for $232, but I don’t know what the shipping would cost.
