I have a 90 Maxima and i recently purchased a set of Tokico HP's for my car.

I wanna know who else is running em and if you had any issues installing em.

I need to know if the rear shocks came with lower mounts of do i have to take apart the rear shocks for the upper and lower mounts.

any and all help is appreciated.

Thanx

The rears are actually an insert. You'll have to remove the whole hub/strut assembly as one and from there, remove the stock insert and put the new one in.

At the top of the stock strut housing you should see what looks like a nut at the top, unscrew that and the insert will come out. You might have to use a couple pipe wrenches and probably even a hammer to get them loose as they tend to be stuck in there pretty good.
