NO Tokico Struts Available after 1996 / What's available then?

[neagan]

I spoke directly with Tokico today to verify that they do not have a strut application available for the Q45 after the year 1996.

I have a 2002. What products are available for us????? Nitro

KYB SR for Y33 (97-01 Q45). You have gone thru the other thread which covered it

zer...-good

[BadQ45t]

But he's got a 2002, I don't think those will fit, will they?

I thought he was referring to Y33 since he mentioned "after 1996" Anyway, my bad. So it's an F50 (02-06 Q45) then.

Since there is a very limited aftermarket parts for F50, the best recourse will be to contact Joe of IoS - a.k.a. infinitipartsUSA.com, one of NICO sponsors. At their site, the front strut is $221 while the rear strut is $188. Of course additional parts may need to be purchased. I checked KYB and they don't list anything for the F50.

What happens when a very limited production [low sales] vehicle comes to market.

Consider my MB C43 [total sales in world 1500] special extremely thick [31 pounds] front rotor cost $292 each wholesale..

Your average $200 shocks are only $130 more per year than 90-96Q. Your larger tires cost much more than this per year.

Your 5 speed AT will cost $1300 more to replace than the 4 speed.
