Because of wide regional variances in costs, it would be impossible to answer that without knowing your location. It would be necessary to know if we are talking front or rear. Once I had that info, I’d type it into [repairpal.com](http://repairpal.com) to get solid pricing. What makes you believe you need new struts?

Your STS has special electronically controlled struts and shocks. The replacement struts are about $600 each. So $1200 in parts alone plus labor.

If you change them using regular struts you will get an error message that won’t go away.

Fancy car, fancy parts prices.
