Had my car in for service at the infiniti dealership i work at and one of the techs says my rear suspension looks pretty bad. I read about all the suspension combos you can do and i dont care too much about racing around but the service advisor at the place i work at told me i might as well go after market because its prolly even cheaper then oem. If im gonna do all this work tho id like to do it right. Im not exactly sure how the suspension is set up on this car because i was driving a mach1 mustang before and mainly bought this car to save some money. I saw some tocikos for about 70 each for rear and 80 each for the front. Maybe those with some fresh stock springs would be a nice firm ride? I dont mind sporty but i dont want it real harsh. Any other suspension parts to replace while im down there?

Tokico makes a great suspension kit. I'd highly recommend them. They're firm, but not uncomfortable for a daily driver. I've had my Tokic HP's for over 2 years and I drive my car daily, great quality kit. I'd recommend, especially for the fronts, replacing the bushings on the sway bar while you're down there. My front sway bar squeeks everytime I hit a bump, which can be irritating when the windows are down! The rubber bushings throughout the car should be replaced if it's a high mileage car. They don't last very long. I bought a set of urethane bushings, but haven't installed them yet, but that'll right any wrongs with your rubber ones.
