Assuming you haven't lowered your TL, We have Monroe Sensatrac and KYB GR2 struts if you're just looking for a basic replacement, and KYB AGX adjustable struts if you're looking for an upgrade.
Check them out here:

I don't know if I should put that much money into my TL im going to get rid of it in the Summer of 2011 for an Accord Coupe, Lancer Evo X GSR, or maybe a new civic si if they change the bodystyle and add some power to it. But I need new struts no matter what

no ull eventually have to replace ur struts after about a year after lowering ur car coilovers and springs go around ur struts, u need strut-tamers to remove springs and coil-overs, its separate and it wont replace it it replaces ur current spring or coil-over what ever u have in ur car
