I have one for sale that will fit the VE and VG(yours). $35 shipped at it's yours. It's used but functionally it's okay

nope. two inches too long. they'll bolt up, but they're too long. your car will ride even higher than it does now.

im assuming youre selling the full set of 4 right? your price is so low..just wondering. they're just the stock ones that came off your car right? how are they? im pretty sure mine are toasted. i can push down on my front hood and get about 1 and a half to 2 full oscilations. how would you rate yours?

Tokicos for maximas:
one p/n for the 1989-1994 years
one p/n for the 1995-99 or so years.

Not the same p/n

Try shox.com for decent pricing and nice informative people.

For a few years. I don't see how it could wear out. I got a guy interested. If I don't see something from him(ie.. reply) soon, I'll let you know.
