do you under stand what SPL means in car auido???? its sould pressure level well the more airflow into the car/cab you get the higher the spl. its will also keep your rear deck from rattling around and making vibrating noise

So who's Joe?

One new and one old and worn strut is going to make for some squirrely handling.

Bump stops, gaiters and bearings should also be replaced, unless you want to repeat the labor again soon.

Tokikos blues are cheaper then factory blackshttp://www.infinitipartsusa.co...=3221

380 for a whole set front and rear from joe. Stiffer then the stock blacks but are a common replacement. I run them as many others on Nico
