How old are the original clips? I would pay the 2 bucks and get the new ones.
Pretty much $30 all day long.
six forward speeds
It's pretty easy to take out and put in, about 2 min each side if you know what you're doing. Just go out and try to remove one before you order.
The retaining clips come with the new strut, see pic on Autohaus. No need to order.
And then you still have the ones from the old ones as spare.
I order the struts from Meyle and they are also with clips attached.
Never have seen a new strut without a new clip, at least not the usually known brands.
but they have a lot of choice for other items like brake pads and plugs.

$ 14,52 each at rockauto does not beat Autohaus Arizona's $13.53
But you are right, it is worthwhile to compare with rockauto, some items they have really cheap, for example they have a lot of reman items like brake booster units etc.
But my main U.S. supplier is Autohaus Arizona, very satisfied with prices and service.
The rest I buy from my sources in Germany cheaper, such as Meyle parts, Hella regulators, etc.
While you're here I thought i'd ask about my flakey locking system. I know there are DIY write ups but i wanted to ask that If the symptom is the front passenger lock kicks back when using the remote or locking from trunk but locks when i lock from that front passenger lock manually do i need to replace the actuator or will some graphite in the mechanism do it? It seems to operate on very warm days fine so i know it can work it seems when its cooler the lock sticks and i need to lock manually.
