Best quick strut available?

[Coop8070]

My car has a warranty from the dealership and the mechanic there told me he is pretty good at getting the warranty company to cover whatever part he suggest, so he told me to choose a quick strut or strut that I like and he can get it covered for free. Now he did say he can't swing aa $800 set of koni's however lol. So my question is what is the best bang for your buck performance quick strut for these cars?

I have them on my wife's truck. Its a 2005 pathfinder. It seems to be a bit better. For my G6, I still have the ac delco ones on my car. They still hold up fine and I am just waiting to put on lowering springs on my Konis that I have already put together. I got they yellows. If you want, the kyb ones should be better over oem. But if you want a no brainer, stick with stock. Your call at the end of it all. I would suggest the koni yellows if You can do it.

I am not sure about their warranty? They should offer one. I got my wife's pathfinder kybs off eBay though.

Has anybody seen or heard anything about these Part #: 1ASSP00580 from 1aauto.com.
I'm not endorsing them, I just seriously need new struts and springs.

Thanks

Looks like crap to me. I don't even see a brand on them

Re: Best quick strut available?

I was thinking the same thing. That's why I asked. My problem looking at struts is that I have the 4cyl. Most Quick struts are for "ALL" engines. meaning the V6 springs. Only found the KYB SR4099 and SR4098 specifically by specs and weight show for the 4cyl. (SR4095 and SR4094 for the V6).

Its a highway only car and I'm looking at possibly passing down to daughter next year. Price is a big concern as on a tight budget, but don't want to spend more fixing broke crap.

If money is a big factor, why would you pay for a spring you don't need? Just buy the struts and use your stock springs. Rent a spring compressor from autozone for like $35 and they give you back all your money when you return it. I replaced all 4 corners with KYB for $212 about two years ago.
IMO, the only reason to buy quick struts is if the extra money they cost is worth not doing the spring yourself (it's easy when you're always replacing the struts) or if your stock springs somehow broke.

Re: Best quick strut available?

Passenger front stock spring is bad. I have a spacer in it just to keep it level until I can replace them. I know... I hadn't mentioned it before.

Thanks for the input. Just trying to get fellow G6r's input.

Re: Best quick strut available?

Well that makes a difference. I have the KYB excel g all around. It's a grear stock replacement that offers a slight improvement in handling while keeping stock ride comfort. They certainly aren't Konis, but for 1/4 of the price I can't complain. They've done well for 2 years now with no issues.

Re: Best quick strut available?

I am seeing two different KYB quick struts. One says OE replacement the other says "strut plus"

Would like to get them ordered today. Any ideas anyone?

Just ordered. Says strut plus. $110 each. Best price I had found. Can't wait to get the G6 lined out again.
