Monroe Quick Complete Strut

Did anyone install the Monroe 171117 & 171116 complete strut on 2003 sedan with sport suspension?

On the Monroe website they don't list them for the sedan, they are listed for the coupe without sport suspension. From what I read it's the same suspension I have on my car.

I called Monroe and the guy told me my car height will change if I buy them. Is that correct?

Coupe springs will lower your car 1/2".

EDIT: The front is an actual strut, the rear is a separate shock and coil spring. You will want to use coupe springs on all 4 corners if you do go with those struts in the front or it will look a little funny.

You would probably also want to pick up some adjustable front upper control arms so you can get back to proper alignment.

I thought that the 03 sedan with sport suspension have the same springs and struts the 03 coupe without sport suspension.

What company sells complete struts for my car? Were can I find instructions for replacing the front struts and reusing the springs?

Possibly, you should check which colored dots you have on your springs. That's how Nissan identifies which springs are which.

Personally I would never use a strut assembly (with the spring) on these cars because you have no idea what you're going to get with those springs. Just look up a youtube video on how to use a spring compressor or take the two front struts off and take them to a shop to swap the springs over.

EDIT: Here's a link to a post of mine from a while back when someone was asking the difference between the suspension setups for OEM coupe/sedan stuff.
