4 MacPherson Struts stock. You can replace/upgrade with kyb gr2's... the 2 rear kybs come as bolt on replacements and the fronts are drop-in cartidges, in which you pull out your old front cartidges and drop the kybs in.

keep in mind the KYB GR2s are basically same as stock. you'll notice a difference because they are new, but not worth it unless your stocks are blown imho.

TireRack.com is where I just got my struts... $195 for all four corners, inluding shipping. Only took about 4 days to get them here too. They advertise in Car & Driver and I recommend them as they were recommended to me.
By the way, you'll still need struts, that's what you have to buy... full strut assemblies for the back ($51 each) and inserts for the front ($43 each), unless you buy Koni struts for the front ($150 each) which are the whole strut assembly.

do the front cartridges just 'drop' in, or is there welding involved?
