Pleae titile your posts better so the topics can be searched!

You can get KYB SR Specials, but they are not less expensive than OEM.

You will need to go to the dealer with your VIN and proof of ownership for your chipped key.

You might as well go OEM if your price sensitive..the KYB SR Specials are not even available in the US so you have work to get a set and they are more.

What are you talking about? They are so available and cheaper!!!



You can buy it from these guys. The price is similar to buying it in Japan without the international shipping.

WOW!!!!! $1900 for KYB shocks???? I never would have thought they would be anywhere near that expensive.....are they that much better than other brands?

[maxnix]

They are like G50 Tokico Blues for the FGY33, maybe even a little stiffer.

KYB is the shock and strut supplier for the OEM FGY33 equipment.

$475 is for set of 4 - 2 for the front and 2 for the back. Not sure how you ended up with #1900 unless you put down qty 4.

Also, it is not my merchandise. I just discovered the website and wanted to share with the rest.

I ordered front struts, strut mounts, rubber boots, & bushings from Infiniti of Scotsdale for under $600, including shipping, for my 97 Q. I'm very pleased with the oem struts. They provide a luxury car ride, as well as great handling and tightness when cornering.

I stand corrected, that is for a set!! That is a ripping deal, I spent nearly double. You should jump on those ASAP.

Front strut bearings almost always require replacement. You don't want them to fail while your struts are good and have to disassemble the front struts to replace them.
