I have AGX's & Sprints, now what do I need to install them?

My 97 GXE has about 86K on it. From what I've read i need to buy camber bolts and KYB dust boots. Where would I go about getting these? Also what else would I need for the install? Any other bolts/nuts, front strut mounts, coil sleeves or anything? I want to be preventative as possible and I want to try and keep it quiet too.
If you know where I can buy the parts I need, please let me know. I want to be able to install within the next 2 weeks. Thanks.

Thanks But where are those prices quoted from? And are those the cheapest prices for those parts? Will I need to go to a dealer? Will it be quiet with those parts or do I still need other parts?

well im no expert, but i was told to check your boots they are more than likely all rotted out. then i hear you should have the bearings changed out but to replace them with OEM, and kyb mounts if needed ..

Wow, there's a whole bunch of us with shocks and springs in the garage I guess!

I have KYB GR2's and MaxSpeed springs - because I'm cheap.

Try www.jerryromenissan.com as they have excellent service and a 25% discount for the .org members. Make sure to ask for Ken in the parts department. You should get new nissan strut bearings and kyb dustboots as they're already pre-cut for lowering springs. Don't buy the KYB mounts from tirerack as they're not as good as the oem ones, and you might not even need new front struts mounts. You can however buy the rear strut bushings from tirerack that sell for like $4. I would also suggest the camber bolts for sprint springs as the springs will give you negative camber, more than you want.

Peace.

Are you saying that Jerry Rome Nissan sells the KYB boots? Or are you just saying for the OEM stuff to get it from there?

I just called Midas and the guy told me it would be $410 to install my MaxSpeed/GR2 combo!!!

Looks like I'll be buying a spring compressor ($10) and possibly air tools.

Ok...I have my camber bolts already and I'll be ordering KYB dustboots from Cattman monday.

So I need?:

2 front strut bearings (54325-5V000)
2 front spacer/seals (54329-39u00)
2 rear spacer/seals (55338-0M000)
4 front nuts (01223-00191)
2 rear nuts (01225-00072)

Are coil isolators spring seats or the urethane sleeves?

Do I have to have urethane sleeves to be able to install or is it just to keep it quiet? If I need them what is the part number and how many do I need?

Do I need to replace the spring seats?

I checked my front strut mounts and they seem to be in good condition and I only have 84K on them anyways. Is there anything that I listed that I don't really need to be able to install? Also is there anything that I missed that I will need.
