I haven't put them in my CB9 yet but Bilstein HDs are the best shocks I have ever owned. I had them in my Volvo 240 wagon and they are also popular in the Porsche crowd (last I checked). Rockauto doesn't have them, though.1991 LX Wagon -

Ok. Sorry had to work a second shift then sleep lol. Anyway sorry if the question has been asked. Just looking for others opinions. I just don't want to buy new ones in a few weeks. Someone in another thread pointed me to rockauto and that's why I was looking there. I started on eBay

I bought a set of Monroe's from Rock Auto. Avoid them, the rods tend to pop off the balls at the top and the mounting bracket for one of them is rusting pretty badly after only a year or so.Originally posted by sdhardcoregamer View Post90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

Nobody is going to understand that you are asking about TRUNK STRUTS for a CB9... the things that hold the wagon's hatch open... and NOT the struts that hold your car up.
These, right here. This is what we're talking about (couldn't find a picture of a CB, but it gets the point across)
Anyway, I'd say that Rockauto will probably provide a quality part. I have no experience with trunk struts personally, as I've never owned a wagon, but Rockauto generally sells decent parts. The only other option I can think of is getting them directly from Honda. I'm sure you still can. They'll probably be twice as much as the Rockauto parts, though.

I understood, the Monroe's I mentioned were hatch struts. More and more I find myself buying Honda parts, even for my 90, they just always seem to work better and longer (I should have gotten the Honda hatch struts). Imagine that!Originally posted by deevergote View Post90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

I used the most expensive ones they had on the site, I forget, but I'll check in a moment.Originally posted by sdhardcoregamer View Post
These things are freakin schaweeet! As good if not better then OEM.
You see those Stealership prices?!?!?!?!? Unbelieveable!
I called them and they were awesome to work with.
edit: I thought I paid like $36.00@ for mine, but looking at this page,
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php
it appears the most expensive is only $20.00@
Perhaps because I ordered 2? ehh .. jus get um .. you'll love um ..
