Sounds about right. Tire Rack has KYB's for about $300 for 4. DO you guys have a preference? I want to stay low in price, keeping the stock ride but not sacrificing quality.

if I were you, I'd just pick up some tokico blues from THMotorsports.

I was never impressed by the reply from the vendor selling the tokico blues. I ran blues on my old maxima and they were worn out when I pulled them to run Konis. If you just want stock oem replacements, they might be okay.
I have a set of low miler coupe shocks for sale. I was going to run them before I got a set of Koni adjustables.
But since you are AWD, I don't think the fronts will work for ya.

Koni's are obviously better you are paying over double what you would pay for the tokico blues. You get what you pay for. But the blues are significantly better than the OEM sport and non sport shocks from infiniti which use Tokico as the OEM. People say they are exactly the same but they are NOT. Look at the housing and you'll notice they are wider than the OEM. Plus I've talked to the manufacturer and they said the Blues are valved for high dampening for better performance. I have them and they run well with my coupe springs. just FYI

I can't imagine the typical life of shocks is less than 100k. I have a 2000 328i driven decently hard its entire life and has 132k on original shocks. My '05 X has 98k and drives the same as my '08 X and I live in New Hampshire where the frost heaves can get nasty. I don't know where you guys are coming from but 30-60k seems way early.
