Well apparently these Nismo struts aren't that expensive. About $150 a piece. Went ahead and bought a pair and they'll be in next week.

Also, +1 for Autoway Nissan parts guys. Dropped the cost from list to compete with the online guys, even though they were special order. Paid the same out the door, and I'll get them sooner. I'd rather pay tax to the state for roads/schools than pay shipping to FedEx to move trucks and planes around.
