If I needed them again, I would learn to do the job myself, but still... costly.
I don't know how many miles were on the Coupe when I replaced the struts and cut the springs maybe 15 years ago but the Coupe is still my primary car and the struts and springs haven't been touched since the installation and I'm still very satisfied with the mod. The ride is good; the struts are still good. And rust is the biggest issue the poor thing has.
