i decided i don't have the budget for illuminas and i'm pretty sure i wont be lowering any time soon if at all so what are some good factory replacement shocks? i would like to improve ride quality over stock but dont have the $400+ for illuminas

 

KYB GR2s run about $70 apiece.

Much better than stock. Not sure what you mean about ride quality. They may be a little stiffer. So handling would improve, but comfort might decrease.

If you want a OEM like softer ride you can usually get good deals on Monroe's,

 

i have monroe's with tein s-techs and its not a bad alternative to something more expensive

 

Are the KYB GR2's similar in ride to the OEM struts/shocks?

 

kyb gr2's are exactly the same as oem ones, My friend has them and his ride feels the same as mine.

 

Thanks for the info, I will have to look into those.

Did you even try to search? or look in the stickies? or post in this thread http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...on-thread.html

You've been here long enough to know to search before starting new threads like this.

Just in case you were wondering, you are not the first one to replace shocks on your car.
