Front struts

My front struts which are Koni yellows, are blown and bottoming out. I would like to replace them with something less exotic but slightly better than stock. I have progressive lowering springs. I don't really see much that is available out there for our generation. I do not want to use coilovers. Any suggestions?

Are there really no other struts other than KYB OEM type struts?

How about Sachs?

I've been contemplating these struts for a while for my 2007 Maxima:

http://www.amazon.com/Sachs-312-178-Front-Shock-Absorber/dp/B002FT0NT2 http://www.amazon.com/Sachs-312-178-Front-Shock-Absorber/dp/B002FT0NT2

I've read Nissan installs them on the newer Altimas.

Any opinion on them?
