Ok, so Im tired of my worn out stock struts, so Im looking for a set. With so many options out there im a bit overwhelmed. So my question is what are you guys running and what are your opinions about them.

I replaced mine with OE's, GR2's are about the same as stock, Tokiko's and Koni's are better, adjustable allow you to tune the suspension to better suit your needs, however if you want to be king of the autocross or track, koni race, Advanced Design Shocks, bilsten race, penske are the brands you want, but for street cars tokiko and kona either adjustable or not are good choices

The car is my DD, and I have been looking at the gr2's for a while, since they are essentially the same as the stock ones, and I can get the stock ones cheaper, so I guess that I'll be going with them. The benefits of working in a nissan parts dept.

I just recently replaced coil overs (on car when I bought it) with KYB AGX struts and Eibach "ProKit" springs In short, as tho entire car ('91 2+2 NA) has had major tune up. Car still sits low as with coil overs but takes common road bumps without loosening my teeth and is much more pleasent to drive without losing the fun aspect. Seems to handle as well (struts set on #2) as before also. To soon to tell about longevity. Hope this helps!
