Thanks! wow, pricey for a couple of shocks, but they are a little fancy with the chrome casings.

I think the porsches are only 20 bucks each.

mikes300 is infamous around these parts
There has got to be a cross reference, they are nothing special, even have the same ends as everyone one I've ever seen.

Don't muck up your car putting Pep Boys replacement parts on it. it's an Aston Martin, use OEM or better on it. Things like that are cosmetic and show you took a shortcut, any prospective buyer that would see that and pick up on it would wonder what other things you did to the car that were not original. If you can't handle $ 150 for (2) struts you should be driving a Mustang...

If the strut cost is too much for you, then I agree you should be driving a Mustang (or a Porsche)

$75 each is cheap for an Aston part. Wait till you see the REAL expensive stuff...
