amazon seems to be the cheapest and unlike auto stores which will sell you universal junk, you can get specific parts because some years have different left and right struts.
Changed mine out, but had to get some female torx sockets from Harbor Freight ($12 or so I think) No other stores had them. My 93 GC had specific left and right struts-- there is a tab that is on the top side that has to go into a slot. Got the struts off amazon and lucked out because at the time they were $18 or so and buy one get one free
Get someone to help or it will be a huge pain in the *** holding the door up...but actually I just used a 2x4. Would have gone quicker with a friend...or if I had cut the 2x4 a few inches longer......
