Default Cheap Shocks

Where is the best place to buy inexpensive shocks? I think I can install my own to save money, but I also need to purchase something reasonable due to funds being below poverty, lol,

Where is a good place local or via the web to purchase and what should I look at front and rear? I have about $175 total to spend on this.

Thanks guys and gals for any help you can offer.

Amazon. Also I just did the front in my Dads and am doing the rear tomorrow. The front is not hard and pretty straight forward but you will have to remove the windshield wiper fluid bottle. The back the shock bolts are going to snap so before you even start pull up the carpet in the hatch and read this http://www.rocklizardfabrications.co...ock_mounts.htm . Just my advice.

So it would appear that I need to get a metal bit for my RotoZip, just in case.

One for roto-zipping through the sheet metal in case I have to go that route. I am gonna start hitting everything with penetrating oil tomorrow. I was hoping there was like a discount warehouse for shocks.
