Or am i Better of just installing new shocks on my SE springs?

 

They look to be yellow or gold springs. Yellow would be MaxSpeed springs and gold would be Tein H springs. They are mated up with Tokico Illumina adjustables...

...my best guess would be Tein H.

 

well, since he can't even SPELL Nissan, i'd stay away. illuminas are great, blown illuinas... not so much.

 

Yea, And it would be hard to tell if their blown without installing lol. And yea i couldn't tell if they were adjustable or not.

 

they are adjustable being white and "illuminas", other tockios for the max that are not adjustable are called Blues and are blue in color.
on being blown or not I would consider that being on h-techs there is a slightly greater possibility of them being blown than if they were paired with less aggressive springs(eibach, h&r, progress) but not that much . And depending on the mileage is another factor.

if you are just looking for shocks, i would just get new or like new illuminas...if you are looking to get lowered... maybe you try this deal...definitely a gamble though.

Check em out and look at date on the illuminas. If they aren't from 04' then offer $100 and ****** em up!

 

they look beat up and they dont look adjustable to me

 

^ what you mean they don't look like they're adjustable? The adjustment is from the top. Those illuminas are adjustable.

And I wouldn't buy them. They look toasted.

 

Agreed, he is saying adjustable for the strut stiff or soft, not like you can lower and raise like Coilovers and mess with the Stiffness also......

 

Wheres Cheapest place to buy these shocks new? cheapest i found was 650 for 4.

$585.20 Shipped.

 

2 in front are obviously different and more expensive than the rears too.

 

And for that Price they the best bang for the buck? and good on SE springs?

 

Check out shox.com they will price match! W

 

if you are keeping springs the same and just trying to replace your shocks at the cheapest price then u should just go for Tokico Blues or OEM

search different shocks if you want to look around

Easy way to see if they're blown, is to check for oil at the piston seal. And/or, bring a cordless impact with you and bust off the top nut so you can check the actual rebound on them. The guy should oblige if he's honest. But, in all fairness, it seems that you're basically just gonna be buying springs. I would just wait for someone here to give you a screaming deal.
