I HAVE A 93 SE W/130 K

I TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED SQUEAKY MORNINGS. MANY OF YOU HAVE RECOMMENDED TOKICO/EIBACH STRUTS AND SHOCKS. HOW MUCH ARE THEY? WHERE CAN YOU GET THEM? ARE THEY WORTH IT? OR IS THERE ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE?

THANKS

Uhh, those are tokico struts and eibach springs..

yes I recommend them.. they cost me about $470 for both, before installation. expect to pay $150-300 for install.

the only other alternative I recommend on struts are the koni adjustables. they're about twice the price of tokicos, but very much worth it from what I've heard.


the squeaky stuff you hear in the morning is normal for cars with rubber suspension bushings. every nissan I've driven does this on extrememly cold days- even when the car was brand new.

Yep, me definately not thinking straight

Well, after actually looking at the date, I feel like a complete idiot. That was a while ago. But while I'm in it, does anybody know if someone can beat $522 for the setup?

My tokikos are shot and I am getting ready to order new struts myself. The cheapest I have found them are through Shox.com, which was the exact same price you mentioned, so I am assuming that is where you looked. I have found the Springs for $160 before, but the place that sold them wanted $50 for shipping. He was out his friggin mind!!!
