are these shocks the same on a 98 nissan maxima? I heard the se has a sport shocks compared to the gle and gxe. If so i was just thinking about passin the kybagx and using my se shocks for my new springs i was thinkin of gettin. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

it can't be that big of a difference. But it's been said that they are different

 

it the spring rate on the springs and not the shocks that are different

 

ditto

 

I've heard of the SE's having Tokico struts and this the only reason they say they have a "sport tuned supsendion" the springs are the samew...

 

when i called to order my gr-2's, they asked me if i had se's and said they are electronic struts,or something. (however that works)

 

SE's are stiffer for sure.
I got a 98SE and a 97GXE and there is a difference.
Especially at 100+MPH

 

If you do a search on www.car-parts.com (a search for used parts) and type select 'coil spring' for a 98 Nissan Maxima, the choices for the front units are 'auto trans' and 'manual trans'. The choices for the rear springs are GXE/GLE or SE.

It seems they both have the same front springs, but the SE have different rear ones.

As for the struts, that site lists the GXE/GLE and SE as being different both the front and rear...

So for the springs, the SE shares the same fronts as the GLE/GXE, but has different rear units. However, it gets it own shocks/struts all the way around.

Good Luck!

 

The OEM struts on my 95 GXE were made by Tokico. It was stamped right on the side.
