Try http://www.tirerack.com I think they have KYB struts for about $53 each.

They don't have KYB struts for the rear of an 88 only Koni's .......EXPENSIVE. Any other places that might have KYB's struts for the 88? Thanks.

$200 for the set plus shipping? I can do that. (gas-ajusts front, GR2 rears ~ non '88s).

This has been covered before......if you have an '88 Fiero buy the '84-'87 KYB strut. They are the same! On some (not all) '88s the passenger side strut and/or knockle may need some very minor tweaking to seat.

I have been using the '84-'88 KYB struts on my '88 Fieros for over 7 years now and have not had any issues.

Good luck.

What he said. Do a search on 88 KYB strut and you should find some pics showing where the strut "might" need to be grinded for clearance. I've got them on my Formula, and I had to grind a little, but not much. I imagine on some cars, the factory tolerances are loose enough that you won't need to grind at all. It's very minor - really. They work fine.
