Struts and Shocks that last?

Somebody do a review on these. the cost is in the $300 range and not coils. https://www.z1motorsports.com/suspen...t-p-12473.html

Basically equivalent to OEM shocks. Formerly called GR-2, these are KYB's basic level products. These have been used in other communities (240sx for example) for ages. Valved for OEM spring, not recommended to pair with lowering springs (unless shortened life span is not a concern). KYB's AGX would be better suit for lowering springs but KYB never made them for 370z.

These Excel-G's do not give better performance against equal condition OEM shocks. Don't get your hopes up.

Bilstein and Koni are good choices for struts and shocks. Tokico struts and shocks unless they are adjustable are set on firm which is great for drag strip and track use. For street use the Tokico struts and shock are a bit firmer then the OEM Nissan struts and shocks as the valving in them is different. I had the Tokico spec d struts and shocks on my last 370Z and really liked them overall. I really don’t want coilovers. I honestly don’t expect my struts and shocks to last longer with lowering springs but,a great quality set of struts and shocks will help though. I want to hear other people’s views on struts and shock? You can’t go wrong with Bilstein or Koni struts and shocks from what I have hear from other 370Z owners they have reported to like them. I will not get KYB struts and shocks as I had a set of KYB struts and shocks on my old 350Z they weared out at really low mileage and the drivers side strut failed and KYB refused to warranty them at all they will never get my business again. What brands of struts and shocks does everyone here like?
