Strut Suggestions
Hey fellas,
As my beloved 2000 Maxima hit 160k miles recently, I've been searching for some good OE replacements for the assembly. As a recently graduated student, I am short on money and in need of some "bang for the buck" suggestions on what I can buy for said replacements.
I'm currently hovering over Sensen, Unity, or if truly necessary Monroes. Heck I'd even do some kybs if I can find some for a decent deal.
Hope to hear some of your suggestions because I'm kind of new to this whole car mod life.
Thanks!

In terms of price/value, it's hard to beat RockAuto.com. I recently replaced my rear struts with a KYB kit from RockAuto ( KIT341271 - struts, mounts, and all sleeves/bellows included). Total cost about $170, including shipping. It seems they don't have that kit anymore, but peruse the site and go from there. I would stay away from Monroe hardware and their "quick strut" in particular. A few members here on .org tried it and did not like it.

I have on '02 GLE, and I replaced wtih the Monroe quick struts (Spectrum based, not economatics!) and I am perfectly happy with the results. The Monroes are a little softer than stock, but it works for me as it's my daily driver, and I am opposed to a harsh ride with 2 hours of daily commuting. The Monroe Spectrum are the most OEM like for the GLE, and they were relatively cheap as I replaced all 4 from Rock Auto for a shade over $400!

Thanks for the boot info. I have all the new replacement components and was hoping to swap new strut assembly with the old. I didn't know I was suppose to use some of the old parts like strut mount insulator and Front seat spring.
