Your tires are wearing funny so you think you need new rear shocks?

Confused.

Lowered? or stock?

Bouncy ride/ shock leaking?

Replacing rear shocks are simple.

Alignment?

brought it in to a shop for new tires and it was determined that i need new struts.

do not plan to lower at all.

no bouncy ride. no leakage.

yes had alignment done but will have another one done on rear when struts are changed.

How many miles do you have on the vehicle?

Tokico.
Honda.
KYB.

Just to name a few companies that offer what you want, just direct OE replacement dampers
