Default 2007 Coupe Suspension

I have been pricing suspension replacement for both front and back, online estimates from repair pal are almost $300.00 less. Any feedback on repair costs that you have had?
Thanks

What model of coupe?

What are you replacing? Suspension is very vague.

Why are you replacing it?

Civic? Accord? Or...

Your shocks/struts are creaking? That's strange. Its unlikely that the shocks/struts are creaking. Is there fluid leaking from them?

At 115K miles, they are typically not ready for replacement.

The left rear shock had a slow leak? Or tire?

115K miles is a very interval early for shocks on an accord.

Anyway, if you do need shocks, $300 is a pretty fair price for labor.

I would suggest buying fully assembled OEM assemblies (from Honda). Sites like bernardiparts.com are good to look at (there are quite a few others).

If the Honda ones are too pricey, KYB also sells full assemblies. They're called strut plus? or something? rockauto.com or shockwarehouse.com might be a good place to look for aftermarket parts.
