Default What Struts to get

I need new struts i think and i was wondering which to get. I am not into street racing or anything of the like but i would like to make my car handle better. So i was thinking since i need new struts anyway, i may as well uprgrade from stock while im at it. I dont want to lower my car at all but if thats what it takes a small amount lower will be ok i guess. Anyone have some suggestions? Is there a place on the internet to buy stock struts in case i decide just to go with that? 97 integra LS.

So i found those on ebay for 244 plus shipping. How much can i expect to pay for basic factory replacements? I mean if i went to a independent guy, how much could i expect to pay for the struts not including labor? How much can i expect to pay for labor?

OEM struts would probally cost more than aftermarket ones, Im sure you can find a used pair somewhere for a few bucks but just get new ones Tokico, KYB. etc.. As for labor its probally going to cost from $200.00 to $400.00 depends on where you go

So what is the real advantage to aftermarket struts? How do they change a cars ride?
