Ok it's finally time for me to buy these sumb1tches.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

Right now the car dips all over the place, feels like a go kart, shudders like crazy over potholes, and has a once in a while serious vibration problem in the front end at 60 and above.

BUT it remains aligned just fine... lol

Will I need to buy strut mounts? If so where can I get them? Can I get poly mounts?

And the vibration, what does that point to? I'll replace a control arm or drag link or whatever if need be (my maxima suspension lingo knowledge is that of a squashed ant)... I just wanna get it tight and nice and feeling nice like the GLE...

...ohh the GLE, feels like butter on all roads all the time even at stock height with stock (but good quality) springs/struts and an FSTB....

My megan catback is also on the way... still backordered lie 2 weeks but I'm being patient.

And my 350Z rims... I finally figured out the shipping costs and should have them within a couple weeks. I'll be slapping some 235/45r17's on all fours...

Oh and a new TCM will be on the way soon as well to hopefully solve my hard 1st to second shift.

gle runs tokicos stock and the blue tokicos are a stiffer than stock oem replacement. i've read a lot of negative comments about the gr-2. if some more $ is not a prob for you go with kyb agx - adjustable from soft to hard and handle drops a lot better than stock replacement - gr2 are not meant to be dropped, blue tokicos either but they don't blow as fast.
