So I've been doing a little searching and it seems my 98 lexus needs new shocks. I am a new car owner this being my first car. I plan on buying new shocks for my lexus on Rockauto but dont know which shocks would be the best to get (or if brand really matters?), and does anyone know if auto shops like sears and others will replace the shocks for me if I already purchased the shocks.
I would also like to know if I need to purchase other items for my car besides the shocks. (ex: if i need a coil spring or strut mount)
Thanks in advance for you help.
