Time to replace struts?

My Maxima SE has 135,000 miles. Am I crazy for not replacing the struts? Does it make a big difference in ride? Should I replace front and back?

Any suggestions appreciated.

I just replaced my stock struts with KYB AGX's after 82,000 miles. I was, lowered with H&R's for 15,000 or so. I am amazed how well the car drives now and wish I had changed them out sooner.

I replaced mine with H&R springs + KYB AGX struts at about 80,000. My original struts were not leaking or anything but def. going too soft for me. The handling is frigging fantastic now...

But if YOU like the way you car handles/rides now then why do anything... Maybe wait until one is leaking. It's not like they're all gonna fail at the same time...

Huge difference. get the AGXs...I swear, you will feel like it is a totally BRAND NEW car. $340 shipped Ebay...Import Parts Direct..

Adjustability...like Gran Turismo...adjust=new adventure every day

Red Struts slightly seen in the wheel wells...PRICELESS.

My '98 SE has almost 75K on it, would it be time for the struts to be replaced?
