aftermarket STRUTS?? D2 coilovers

I was wondering if there any companies that make aftermarket struts for our car!!
As we all know our struts are the most horrible thing about our car at least in ny daily driving So i wanted to know if anyone has changed there struts in there car to aftermarket struts and the name of the company and how much better they are!!!
Thanks

these guys make struts for us. I guess they use our oem strut shaft to make theirs. but some have them and no complaints so far...

these are coilovers. the very first I've seen so far. the pic is not the actual item for our cars, but they have a part number on their page. I have no feedback yet for these struts..

Found the site and sent them an e-mail...

I found the D2 site, $1200:
http://www.d2racing.com/flash/


I sent Noah there an e-mail stating that we might have a few people interested in a purchase. Maybe that will get their attention since they haven't called akaxmrx back yet...
I'll keep everyone posted as soon as I hear anything.

this is awesome if it's true. My car was going to go for sale. When I saw how much I would lose I thought twice. Damn this resale is bad.

Noah at D2 e-mailed me as well, here's what he said:
"Hello Jason,

I am very happy to hear your interest in the 04-up Maxima Coilovers.
Honestly the Maxima coilovers have been released recently and just
finished production on a new batch.

You are probably aware of what is out in the market more than me. D2
Coilovers have been tested on the Maxima in the markets around the
world. I have not heard of any problems with them and unfortunately my
attempt to get you exact specifications have failed. All I know is
that
the few people who have purchased them have no complaints.

I do not stock more than 2 of these applications because of the lack of
interest. The turn around time for these coilovers are usually 5
business days to you door. I can ship coilovers shipped to you as soon
as possible."
Granted they are more expensive than the other site...it was good to at least hear from someone from the company itself.
$$$ is a bit tight right now, I need to get brakes 1st..

Here is his info if anybody want to talk to him...
Noah Chung" <noah@d2racing.com>

How bout more info on D2 coilovers? I love the idea of coilovers. How is the quality? How is the dampening of the cartridge? Is the much higher cost worth it?
