I have an 02 sentra (GXE)I am getting an eibach pro kit spring setup.

What other parts would i need to order to make this happen?I Heard that the top mounts are total crap in the car and i should replace them. I also know i need ?struts or shocks? But what kind and where to order them is still a mystery. And also i need a driver side cv joint replaced and i was told just to order a whole new axle or cv assembly i figure they are the same.

Any input would be cool since im a total noob

KYB AGX's struts are a nice choice, a cheaper option would be the KYB GR-2's. Yes ordering the entire cv axle would be the best option. Depending on how many miles are on the oem top hats makes a difference if they should be replaced. It's not that the top hats themselves are the problem, you could just easily replace the plastic bearing. Should be able to get them from nissan at a reasonable price.

KYB AGX don't exist for the B15, only the GR-2.

GR2's or Koni Yellows (inserts), depending on how whether it's purely cosmetic or a performance-oriented (respectively) choice.

That said, Pro Kits are designed to be able to be used on stock struts. I don't think you'd have a problem with your stock ones, though another possible upgrade that should be easy to find is Spec V struts.

There are no upgrade replacements for the mounts. They're crap, but until they wear out there's nothing really wrong. Even when they do, it's just noisy.

How do i know if this is the spec v strut that just happens to fit the gxe or the gxe strut that happens to fit the spec v
