nizmo shocks

Hello everyone,
I am just trying to get some inputs. My 03 g35 needs shocks badly, realllly bad...... I have been looking around and I liked the blue tokicos. But then I just came across these on ebay. I dont know anything about them. Are they good? Would these fit on the car eventhough its not lowered? Does anyone have experience with them? What kind of ride can I expect from these? Also My car has stock springs. I am opened to suggestions as well. Thank you very much below is the link.

Those are not nismo struts. You also get what you pay for, I wouldn't recommend buying those. so your best bet it to go with the blue tokicos, Sence you know your getting quality with them, and not some cheap struts off eBay.

I would have kept shopping after I saw the word "NISMO" with a price under $200...even their rad caps are going for $50ish now

You might search for opinions of kyb shocks on here. They are a little cheaper than tokico. I would cross shop on here, eBay and rockauto.com for the best price.

By tomorrow I will be looking around. Now For the KYBs, would the ride and handling be close to the Tokicos? Thanks

Since they didn't have sport suspension in 03 I think you should be fine. They might not be so good with z or coupe springs. I would type kyb into the search bar and see what comes up.

lmao those arent even close to nismo shocks

For your reference, you can see what they look like here.

I didnt really notice any difference in ride quality. But maybe I dont pick up on those things well. Sounds like you are going another route though. Good luck!

Thanks for demo pics, wow that was a nice set and yea I am leaning more towards tokico HP blues, but kyb is also an option. I am just doing a lil bit more research and see if there is anything comparable with these.
