Hello-
I found KYB struts and shocks off of CARPARTS.COM for $250 to my door. I hate carparts.com, but I will give them a shot for that price. I am going to do the install myself but was curious if I had to have the car realigned after I did this procedure or not?

Thanks,
SHUMAX

its a must unless you feel like changing your tires after a month or so =)
the toe and camber is off a bit and you'll be pulling to one side

Yes...get a alignment....removing suspension components
and replacing them will throw off your front and rear alignment.

Definitely get an alignment done, and check Shox.com to try and get a lower price for the shocks...tell them you're from Maxima.org.
