I'm looking to replace the rear struts in my 95 AT200, and want to go with everything; mounts, springs, strut. I can only find Monroe or KYB struts without springs, and I can't seem to find any OE-style springs, or a quickstrut option.

Anyone know where I can pick these up, or am I looking for the wrong thing?

bro all at200, st204 use the same suspension. All mcpherson there is no difference. Im aware of the monroe quick strut, so if you see it says only available for gt models do yourself a favor and buy it. If your mechanic savy just buy the front inserts and rear shocks and install yourself.

there is also gabriel shocks from autozone. Good quality seems like oem as least. I myself have used kyb's and later got blisten front inserts/cartridges. like so

OK, thanks for that info, and the pictures. That helps a lot. I guess there is no complete assembly for our cars, I've been looking around for a while. So then, I'll need the struts, upper and lower mounts, and springs. Anything else? And where can I get some OE quality springs?

Have you looked into lowering springs or you just want the stock height?

Just keeping everything stock for now. I mean, I wouldn't mind upgrading to higher quality components, but the body needs plenty of work before I move on to lowering.

Any problem reusing stock springs? They should work fine

Yeah, I suppose I could. I just thought after 170K mi, the stock springs would be ready to replace. That, and I'd rather put new springs on the struts before taking the old ones out, just for logistical reasons since I'd have to borrow a spring compressor.

I wonder if anyone is trying to sell some low mileage OE springs?

I have a set, please PM me if you are still interested. They had 86k miles at the time of removal.
