The MR2 has damper inserts, you don't replace the whole assembly.

If all you want is OE replacement then your best bet is a set of KYB GR2s. (Avoid KYB AGX adjustables at all cost. They suck.)

I have no idea what the labor cost would be. I just do it myself It's not all that complicated. It just takes some time, patience and persistance.
