Default Strut assembly

Having difficulty finding both the front KYB strut assemblies for my 1997 Honda Accord LX 4-cyl. Any other brands that are as good as KYBs?

Tokico is quite good (for me) as well but possibly even harder to find. Why are you having a hard time finding the KYBs for your accord though. I casn find them on amazon, tirerack, rockauto etc

KYB AGX is even better than excel-g if you felt to spend more. Bilstein is even better than both if you felt to spend even more etc

Monroe is not as good as kyb but you can get them cheap on closeout on rockauto if you need to save some bucks

@nicolaselias, thank you for your reply. BTW, I am looking for only full assembly including springs so that I can install myself.
Apparently KYB SR 4048/4047 are the two front strut assemblies for my car. However, SR 4048 is not available anywhere, not even single online retailer. Also, I noticed Monroe has only one part number listed for fronts. So, I am wondering if KYB SR4047 can fit on both left and right sides. Most places I checked have only KYB SR 4047 in stock.

I'd suggest emailing KYB to confirm. They surprisingly respond very quickly and accurately to queries.

If not, you may be able to buy struts and springs separately and it MAY work out cheaper that way. Rockauto would have both
