Cheapest Sport shock/strut for 5th Gen?

Guys, I'd rather not run my Sport Springs on stock shocks/struts, what are the cheapest sport dampers?

That's the way it goes my man. Struts are expensive...the adjustable Koni's and KYB's are over $400. Non-adjustable is as cheap as it gets and Tokico's @ $329 are about as good as it get. You may see some deals bringing them down a few dollars, but you aren't going to find good quality struts on sale for $5.99 or anything.

Well Tokico's are great quality struts so don't take the word "cheap" to mean low quality. In reality, you really don't have a lot of choices. Tokico, Koni, and KYB. All good quality struts. The adjustables cost more than the non-adjustables...even with the same product family.

KYB GR2 non-adjustables are $329
KYB AGX adjustables are $409

Both great quality, just a question of choosing adjustable or not. Tokico are the same way they just don't have their adjustable Illumina strut available for the Maxima.

Think twice, think three times even...you'll still only have a few choices when it comes to struts.

I have a set of Next to Brand new TOKICO BLUES that i used on my Eibachs for less than a month for sale. I'm selling them, because i wanted the AGX adjustables. These shocks/struts are in excellent condition. Email me or reply to post . They will work well on stock or sport springs.
