Seems high except for the alignment - mine is usually about $100 and makes
my dealer a little nuts (my perception) because the car is lowered.
At carparts.com they have the rear strut assembly for US$70 each in a
Gabriel brand - I bought KYB's some time ago and I see them over at
tirerack.com for US$48 each.
There is something at the tirerack site called a strut and shock mount for
US$41 ea - but unless yours are trashed, I don't get why you might need
them (someone else maybe can clarify).
So a pair of KYB's installed should be under $200 in my thinking.
...if it's in the budget and you plan on keeping the car, I'd go for
replacing all 4 (just a thought).

Here's why it's a good idea to replace these before you need to.

If you replace your struts, it's a good idea to replace the mounts too.
While 4 new mounts aren't cheap, they sure are cheaper than a strut rod
going up through the hood or the rear window while you're driving. I
replaced my struts at one time but didn't replace the mounts. This happened
at about 120k.

Lately I’ve been hearing a knock in the trunk when I turn sometimes.
Sounds like something is tipping over in the trunk. Since it’s a 2001 SC1
there’s no sway bar to make noise.
From the looks of the picture, bad strut mounts should be replaced. Are
the replacement strut mounts stronger? My car has less than 40000 miles.
I hope the replacements are better.
Like Skid asked, do you think the replacement strut mounts are built to
last? I am about 99% sure I will only be doing the rear struts at this time
to nurse this 98 pig along.
Thanks for your replies Lane!
