Not a smart idea. Usual struts are over $400 discounted....you want to spend $169....the idea that that would be good quality shouldnt even be thought. Don't f up your car with them.

Do any of these struts fit on a stock maxima? I have a 95 stock maxima 5-speed and I'm looking to make it handle better but I don't want to lower it.

All of these struts fit the maxima....hence why he's asking which ones people have. You can get any struts you want without aftermarket springs. It's kinda pointless because you wont get better handling without lowering it. Well maybe a little but not noticable. lowering springs are what give you better handling. Y wouldnt you want to lower it?

Im in the same boat bro. Do your shocks make a constant thumping sound when you are driving? I was wanting to make sure that it was infact my struts. I want to get some good ones when i replace them too.
