For Those Thinking About Upgrading Your Suspension, You Should Get These New OEM Part

Install was done at Maximum Tuning (516)676-8470. Installed were new KYB AGXs, H&Rs, ES FSB Bushings. Replaced were FSB endlinks (def. check on these when you do your suspension, thanks to Jeff noticing, my passenger side endlink was completely broken off, prob due to NYC pothole, supposedly common problem of them breaking on the Maximas). I wouldn't recommend any other shop to do the install, I'm even getting my friend with a 525i to get his suspension done there.

*highly recommend

The following parts were bought from Koeppel Nissan in Queens:
2 - *Strut Bearings (54325-5V000) - 27.16 each
2 - *Front Dust Boots, includes the bumpstops (54050-38U02) - 12.11 each
2 - *Rear Dust Boots, includes the bumpstops (55240-0M315) - 23.76 each
2 - Front Rubber Seats (54034-31U01) - 10.40 each

The FSB endlinks that were bought to replace the broken ones were bought at Baron Nissan by Jeff's shop

2 - FSB Endlinks (54618-0E000) - 10.84 each

The remaining parts were ordered from Courtesy Nissan
2 - *Front Spring Polyurethane Isolation Sleeves(top) (54034 - 31U01) - 9.17 each
4 - *Front Spring Polyurethane Isolation Sleeves(bottom, 2 on each spring) (54034 - 31U20) - 9.19 each
2 - Rear Rubber Seat (55034 - 31U00) - 8.16 each
2 - Front Orange Spacer (54329 - 39U00) - 7.22 each
2 - Rear Bushings (56218 - 61L10) - 1.81 each
4 - *ES FSB Endlink Bushings (4803G) - 2.73 each

To anyone upgrading their suspension, I highly recommend the items with an *, in my case I have a 98 with ~60K driven in NYC and I just felt that I should replace any wear items. I want to do my suspension right the first time and not worry about noise down the road, pretty much I don't want to have to mess with my suspension ever again. For the isolation sleeves, I def recommend this as a must. I've seen the wire loom recommended by people on the org and it just doesn't compare with the OEM Nissan ones. The Nissan ones are just thicker and go on with a self adhesive on the inside of the polyurethane tubing. Since the install 2 weeks ago, my car is dead quiet, just the hum of my catback, plus I've taken the setup through the best NYC has to offer, not one squeak. Def also get new bushings for the FSB if not the ES ones, when my old ones were taken out, they were compressed to a 1/3 of their original size.
