rear struts..... cost?
what should it cost to get rear struts installed, what type or brand should i get? and also is there any other things that need replaced along with them?
by the way its a 92 es. i just put some 16 inch wheels on it with 215 55 16 tires and theyre rubbing over bumps which shouldnt happen because they are almost identical to factory ride height.

$100-200 for just the rears depending on what they think you'll go for (unless they have posted, standard price lists - doubtful). If the rears are shot, there is a good chance the fronts need replacing as well.
The type and brand depends on the year of your ES. The older it is, the more limited your choices will be. [Edit] Ah! You edited, so i will as well. You've a 2nd gen like mine, so you might as well check out the 2nd Generation (92-96) ES300 Suspension Reference sticky for an exhaustive list of available equipment, vendors, prices and do's/don'ts.
Replace your strut mounts and the dust boots while you're at it. If you're wanting to firm up the ride and or lower your stance, it's a good time to put some new springs on there as well (although that makes more sense with a 4-strut replacement).
