KYB

Part numbers SB103 & SB108

Only got about 2 or 3 years out of them.

OEM dust boots over KYB dust boots?? I checked courtesy nissan's website they only have the rears. Looking for suspension parts online is a *****!

 

KYB, same part numbers as njmaxseltd said. only had them on for about 4 months and no probs. i have heard they are better than OEM, so I went with them. got them shipped (all 4) for about $55. good deal IMO.

 

I heard the opposite; KYBs shred faster than OEM. I got 'em for free though a Nissan contact so that went into consideration when selecting.

 

ugh... I guess I'm leaning towards KYB's...

 

The reason to use the KYB boots on lowered set ups is to gain some suspension trave with smaller bump stops. The new Nissan bumps are larger and can't be trimmed.

That is the only reason to use the KYB parts over the Nissan unit.
