I'm in the market to buy new struts, but I'm trying to save some $$ in the process aswell. My first intesions were to get tokicos for $315 shipped, but then I also have to add in installation, allignment, and replacement of both power steering boots. I figure if I get the kyb's I could save a lil extra flow. Will I be compromising performance by doing this?? Are kyb's really that bad? What about longevity??

Thanks,
Kevin

 

so far my KYB's and Sprints are holding up great! not one prob so far since the install back in mid August....handling is even better than before(but I also have an FSTB too), eventhough Toks are probably the premium choice among the Maxima community(based on popularity) I think the GR-2s are just as good and will probably last just as long as the Toks would!

 

How much for these KYB's?

 

got mine for ~$226 from carparts.com(which is back in business) shipped back in august when I had my 20% coupon from importhookup.com ....nice and cheap, but so far great quality!

 

kyb's are good, according to the import shops around here.. they said that kybs are equivalent to tokico (blue),how ever the illuminas are on a different level.

i dunno i like my tokicos better than oem, oh lord i oem sux. but i would get kyb if i didnt have much money
