I put some KYB struts and shocks in SWMBO's Infiniti, and they ride almost like rocks, WAY too stiff for me. Not bad for short trips around town and on smooth highway drives, but not at all suitable for a long day in the car. At the time it was hard to justify the $300 / strut cost from the Stealership vs. about $80 from Rusty for the KYB, but now I know why...
