rear suspension..simple questions

Hi..

I have a 90 SE..never had to touch the suspension parts, beyond alignment.

Now, one of my rear struts (is that the right term..?) is leaking..and needs to be replaced. (13 year life isn't bad..)

So..here are the basic questions:

1) do they get replaced in pairs or all 4 ?

2) Should I use OEM (does Nissan still make them..?) or which aftermarket brand..All I want is a 'stock' ride..nothing extra hard or higher, etc.

I know lots of you know this stuff cold..I appreciate the help.

1 - you should...at the least axle sets
2 - OEM..not worth the $. KYB and Tokicos are decent brands for a stock like ride.
