My friend and a mechanic said that one of my rear strut is bad, and i just got new tires and rims and eventually its going to mess it up like it did with the old one. I want to get rid of this problem however I dont know if i should find stock struts or aftermarket, or if the difference between the cost is big? is it possible to just have aftermarket struts on the back and stock struts on the front? or should i do stock?
thank you for your help

just get 4 new shocks. kyb gt2's go for $310 on ebay. they are stock fitment and people say they are similar to the trd shocks that toyota offers. stock toyota struts probably go for more at the dealer.

dead strut, probably no need to get new springs unless there is rust or other physical damage. kybs are good, and they're a hell of a lot cheaper than stock
