MacPherson Struts....

MacPherson Struts....
I need to replace all 4 struts on 96 GXE max. Over 210K miles.
Just looking for a good ride and no lowering.
Can get rear macpherson struts from Ebay for $69.
Questions:
1) Are these any good?
2) Compared to KYB Gr2? Is there a tremendous difference?
2) If I get the rear do I need to get the same model for the front? Or can I use another similar model? If so what is similar?
I looked thru a lot of posts, FAQ's, and still could not see what was needed when replacing the struts as far as "extras". Bushings/bearings, noise dampener, etc...
Need help from fellow Maxima diehards....

So the macpherson struts at 69.00 for a new set is not a good deal? Again I just need to replace the stock and probably will keep the car only a year or two more. Its had its day in the sun (9 glorious years). Is it not good to mix match struts? On the web I could not find anyone selling macpherson stuts for the maxima.

Anything from KYB will give you a very firm ride. Monroe SensaTrac might be a descent stock replacement as well.
