Attack of the unibody snatchers! Styling and handling refined or bland? You decide.

Struts

Alright guys, My front struts are kinda shot, so let me hear what your favorite front struts are. Or if I should even upgrade the struts. My local mechanic was talking about how pathfinders have a rep for already having a great setup. Upgrade or not?

If you're running a stock suspension, I'd go with KYB GR-2/Excel-G in the front, which are almost identical to the original struts from the factory, and, if you are doing the rears, KYB Gas-a-just, which are a monotube design and a slight upgrade from the factory units. KYB is the OEM manufacturer of the struts/shocks for the vehicle. I would most likely get them from Rockauto.com. I would recommend a wheel alignment, afterwards.
