Just bought some TOKICO Illumina Shocks with eibach springs. I was wondering if I had to buy anything else for the instalation? Also was wondering since I'm changing out my shocks is there anything else I should be changing while I got everything taken apart?

 

If you have over 50K miles you might want to pick up some new bumps stops/strut covers what ever you want to call them. Mine were shredded after 75K. you coudl pick them up for about $17-20 at your local nissan dealership.

 

Strut mounts and bearings possibly.

Go for the Moog ones.


Fronts are Part Number K90655 and includes the bearing

Rears are Part Number K90299

They also have Strut Boots which includes the bumper

Front K90463

Rear K90467

These are for a 2003 Maxima but they most likely the same for all 5th gens.

 

I had picked up the eibach alignment kit (2 bolts) when I installed my eibachs/illuminas

 

I have Eibachs also but I did not need an alignment kit to get it into spec. Is the alignment kit required to get it into spec?

If so that means the shop who did my alignment lied to me

 

No need for the alignment kit..

Bumpstops / Dustboots and maybe strut mounts

My dust boots were COMPLETELY shredded and i didn't have money at the time to get any boots or strut mounts.. and this was about 58k..

So my illuminas don't have ANY dust boots on.. which will make them wear faster probably... I'm at around 65k right now.. and they feel pretty good still.. running 4F 5R... Sometimes i feel like they aren't as stiff as they were when i got them though.. but its probably in my mind... i even got a Stg2 LTB recently
