I was interested in Tokico Illuminas for my 2002 Maxima SE, but the Tokico product catalog shows compatibility with Maximas from 4/99 to 2001, then from 2004+ but it skips 2002 and 2003. I contacted Tokico and they gave me this response (with their spelling mistakes): "Our listing only goes up to 2001 there is some different between the brakeline bracket on the 2002-2003. Even though the shocks are same just he brakeline bracket and ABS bracket is different." Can anyone comment on that? Seems like quite a few other people have used this combination yet even the Tokico factory says they don't fit.

Thats a good question that I honestly can not answer. However, if what Tokico says is true about everything except the brakeline/abs bracket being the same then it seems some zip ties, mechanics wire and shade tree mechanics would make them compatible with the 5.5 gen.
