Stock suspension replacement

Hi all. It's been a while since I last posted here. My wife drives an '01 SE and when I drive the car, the suspension feels worn, especially over gentle dips on the freeway.

I was wondering what would be good replacement springs, struts etc? Please realize she drives it daily so comfort is definitely a priority.

Or would Nissan stock parts suffice? What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

if comfort is a priority just stay STOCK. If handling is more of a priority look into upgrading springs.

I guarantee your springs are still in good shape, so just buy some stock struts from Dave Burnett. 1-888-254-6060

I feel that my maxspeeds provide a similar ride to stock SE, but much better handling. Oh, that's with Illumina struts. I run at 3 front 3 back, but if you set them at different settings, you can get a softer ride.
