Default 1996 Camry LE

We are working on replacing the shocks on my sisters camry, and my step-dad is a little pissed off with the whole thing for a lot of reasons. But, we won't get into that who deal. What I need is a good place to buy simple replacement parts online--nothing like Koni's or anything, just some good replacement shocks for her OEM ones. Any help is appreciated.

My step-dad hates the local dealerships, and would prefer to just order them off the web. And as for e-bay, well, we would rather get it from a reputable online store that has been known for good service.

While your dumping money into that pos here are some common things that break on them...

-Strut towers, it has a bearing in it which goes bad.
-Valve cover seals, look on the back of the block for grime all over it.
-Distributor O-ring, look for grime.
-Anti-sway bar bushings (mostly rear ones), look for a clunk sound in the suspension.
-Axle boots, look for cracks on them.

That is the most common ones I can think of.
