I recently took my car to dearlership,They told me i need a RH front strut. This is not covered under factory warrenty, So i gotta come outta pocket to replace it...The factory strut was like $280 plus labor, However in the future i wanna do a suspension, so i dont wanna put out that money twice...i was wondering if anybody has knowledge of tokico blues(there $80 apeice). i was gonna just buy and replace all four corners for the price of one nissan strut, I assume if this one went the others prob arnt far behind

so whats your opinion? would you use them? or what would you do?...i dont wanna just buy one cause what if the left one goes in a month that would put me further behind....and i have seen the bilstein struts and shocks but there also $300 a peice...so ithere out the question

I'm not sure about those type of struts but this is an important piece. if anything maybe you can find a replacement factory strut for cheaper since you are going to be paying labor in either case from the sounds of it....

Or if you have the money just go ahead and do the coils. If you have the cash that is your best bet. But if you aren't going to seriously track the car you could consider going with eibach or some other good brand of sport spring and KYB struts. That is also a really great set up...

I myself will prolly be going with the nismo suspension

hope this helps
