Time to replace the original front struts...left side leaking. I see the Tokico name on my originals.

I noticed when changing my struts/shocks that mine were also Tokico...I guess these are OEM? Not sure if they are HPs though...

yes Tokico was the OE supplier on the 4th gen.
Tokico aftermarket is a different division and the struts sold now are tuned differently

Mine is a 5.5 gen, and when I took off my OEM struts/shocks, they were Tokico. I know they are OEM because they say Nissan on them as well. So I guess Tokico is the OEM manufacturuer for at least 4th and 5th gens?

No clue. I don't have access to the valving specs of an SE vs GXE vs GLE vs HP vs GR2 vs Sensa-trc vs Et al

They should be fine if you are going to use your stock springs. If you are going to lower, consider something else like the Illuminas.
