So I've had an issue with mine before I left on deployment and the dealer quoted me at 198 a piece plus 211 for labor. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if they had found and aftermarket strut that fits for cheaper ?

Finding the rear shocks of the Kizashi isn't hard though I've only seen KYB Excel-G shocks offered for it. I'm sure they are the OEM.
However, to prevent the issue from reoccurring, you really want to get the countermeasure rear bump stoppers as the thread on this issue discussed in detail.
Try to buy those and only those from the Suzuki service dealer. Get the shocks elsewhere for much less. Replacing the rear shocks should not be hard given they aren't coil-overs.
