    Broke a strut today. Need new suspension. Need advice!

    I have an amazing 1987 Honda Accord named rHonda Gold she only has 77k miles and she broke a strut today.

    I really don't want to lower her and if I do I want the least amount possible. I would like to replace the springs and struts on all four corners at once. I realize eBay can hook me up for like $170. I would probably like to stay under $500 but I can afford whatever for the 'right' parts.

    I plan on keeping rHonda for a long time and I would like to replace the stock stuff... I am including a picture of the broken strut. I wish I had gotten a better one. I can get a picture of the strut tube broken almost in half tomorrow when it is light out.

    The upload button is broken??? It might have worked...

    Just buy the replacement struts and springs on rockauto.com. I think the KYB GR2's will be closest to stock.
