hey guys i have the 99.5 pathfinder. i replaced the shocks 3 months ago - the guy i bought it from had put monroe sensatracs and they were horrible. i put kyb gr2s on there - much better.

now i want to finish the job and get the struts although i'll pay a mechanic to put them on.

i want use kyb gr2's on that as well but which do i buy? i'm trying to order from autopartswarehouse.com

Call them and tell them what you want. They'll get you the right ones. I also ordered mine from sparkplugs.com and saved a ton in shipping costs, but they're out of Cali so it was a quick trip from there for me.

You'll love the Kyb GR2's. Mine are awesome!

KYB GR2 struts are the way to go, just stay away from their mounts and bearings, just a word of advice.

I went with the Spicer super kit, since it came with everthing you need for the strut job, and at 59 bucks, was cheaper than most other brands offering only the strut mount.I also did a little research on Spicer, and they have been making suspension components for a very long time and seem to have a solid reputation in the industry. Some references even said they were above and beyond OEM, dont know if thats true or not.
