Sorry guys, bit of a noobie, what's the best strut replacement for an 06 Mazda 5?

I need to replace all four, are the rear different from the front?

Any advice would be appreciated, not sure where to start or where to get them
 
The Fronts and Rears are very different. The Fronts are struts, and the rears are shocks.

If you are hearing clunking it is good to do the front and rear sway bar bushings.

There are options from budget to performance to luxury... all depends what you are looking to do.

Who is telling you to get new all new struts? My mechanic mis-diagnosed the clunking sound as struts and thankfully I resisted that. Spent less than 20 bucks on both front and rear sway bar bushings (as MazdaDude mentioned) and fixed the issue.
