BEST Struts...and yes i searched.....
I am looking to see what the best struts are for a 3rd Gen Maxima. My struts are shot and i want to replace them with something good. I do not want a bone crunching ride, but i need my Max to handle VERY good. I'm tried of the floaty ride of a GXE, so i want to know which strut will give me great handling (car will see track time) and also a "decent" ride.

not worried about the money really, i'll spend to make sure things are done right, but you're saying the Konis are better than the the tokicos?

struts
the konis fronts are not direct bolt ups like the other 2. the old fronts have to be customed to fit the inserts in. also chances are the koni's may be harder to get ahold of. it seems like every time i check with shox.com, they are backordered from holland.

i just was wondering if it was a good idea to have diferent springs in front than in back. i have already ordered the koni struts and i have a friend who has a back set of eibach's but they only lower it about 1.25 on the stock struts which still looks good but i would like the front lower. is that a bad idea?

The only thing is it might look a bit off kilter with the front slightly higher than the rear. Some of our cars do this already I think (called "saggy @ss syndrome" or something), due to sagging springs. But if you don't mind the look, then I think it'd be alright.

I have another question about struts, this may be stupid though but bear with me, do i ned to replace all 4 at one time? Could i replace the front and then do the rear later? Or would it be better to just replace all 4 at the same time?
