DO NOT put in the springs only! i have an SE and i put my eibachs without any struts. well, its been about 10k since and my SE struts are almost dead. i am definitely going to have to buy struts soon and spend an extra 150-180 installing the struts. shouldve done it together, oh well.

they should last a longer than the tokicos... plus the KYB AGX are adjustable. You can actually adjust them while they are still installed on the car. Konis are good also, but you need to take them off, stick them in a vice, and then adjust them...

They probably more expensive than Tokicos but slightly cheaper than Konis. But, I got word from KYB that the shocks for the 5th gen will be available late fall of this year. I don't know if it is worth waiting that long.... I may just get the Konis. The Konis will probably last the longest anyways.

if you have gxe or gle, dont even think about using H&R with it.

nah, my stock shocks were good enough for a 1 year with my eibachs(they are still not blown by the way...), i just changed them with tokicos cuz i thought the shocks were getting little bit softer....
i should've gotten the Konis but oh wellz....
get the shocks and springs at the same time. just because you don't have to pay twice for the suspension mod.

I thought that the maxima had struts and not shocks. How can you fit shocks when have struts? 
Someone please enlighten me. Also I thought Mcpherson was also a brand since i seen them advertised many at tire shops.

McPherson is the type of strut assembly... not a brand. I think the front suspension on the maxima uses struts, while the rear uses shocks.... the two terms are used interchangeably though most of the time....
