Exclamation Pleas Help Me

Please help me. I have been trying for some time now to get new shocks and struts. Every where i go is charging me over a grand.

The problem is coming from the fronts shocks and struts, fo some reasone they cost a lot of money. Some places tell me 3-4 hundred each and one place was up to 500.

They are only finding them from the nissan dealership.

If anyone can find any shocks and struts out there please reply.

Brand does not need to be specific jus realiable and reasonably priced.

I found some Tokico HP Strut kit for a 95-98, does anyone have any opinion on this kit.

By the way i have a 95 240

The tokicos are pretty much a stock replacement, they will do you good unless you wanna really upgrade your suspension.

kyb gr2 is a good shock and cheap. i don't know if they make them for the 240 or not. check tirerack.com. they usually have pretty good prices and shipping times. remember that labor is pretty high with these.

post in the wanted forums for somebody that upgraded their springs & shocks, and buy them used for like $50-150. or go kyb gr2's for 225, and keep the stock springs.

Thats your solution.
