    Galaxee: You're getting a Ph.D. in marijuana? That's pretty interesting.

    I'd look to higher-dollar shocks than KYB makes; shocks don't have to move very far, but they need the right kind of resistance for the road under you... Find a Bilstein that fits the car.

    sort of but not really. i study the receptor and signaling system.

    i just threw that out there since i know for a fact that kyb makes em for the prius. kyb is mid-grade. their a/m stuff isn't as good as oem but it's not the bottom of the barrel stuff.

    just don't get gabriel and you're ok. :p

    I upgraded to the Toms suspension kit...

    So I have stock shocks/struts and springs in my garage... but I live in PR... so shipping may be expensive..

    Just curious (as another 2005 owner): How many miles, and what are the symptoms? Leaking?

    I had a noisy left front strut replaced under warranty at 61,000km. Makes a knocking rattleing noise over bumps.

    I'm not sure on price... I'll let you know... I can give you a few details on them...

    They were on the car for about 25,000 miles... I checked them when removed and all were in perfect condition... I will sell 4 springs, 2 shocks and 2 struts...

    I received the ones from TRD through UPS... There is also USPS available...
