Aren't the prices for kyb and nissan the same? I don't think kyb is oem... think kyb is aftermarket.

I heard KYB's are pretty crappy compared to oem so I just got oem bearings. I think they costed me around 45$ after calling up a couple of dealers. Figured that the bearing is more likely gonna have issues before the mount itself is.

But if you get KYB theres GD for em 28$ apeice shipped and I believe they include bearings

You should definitely replace everything.

OEM mounts appeared to be slightly better quality than the KYB ones I got recently but they KYB's were adequate. No real difference in the bearings between Nissan and KYB. Go with whichever you can get cheaper. Replace mounts, bearings, gaskets, and the islolator sleeves at the bottom of each spring - it will eliminate spring noise from coils rubbing/compressing.
