suggestions for good quality replacement struts

Hey guys,
My little sis needs some new struts for her nx2000. She doesn't need anything performance. Only something that is good quality and that will last a while. Stockers... that's all. Any reccomendations. My dad's probably going to be ordering or getting the parts tommorrow so any suggestions are appreciated. THanks.

KYB GR2's, I wouldn't recommend anything else (for stock replacement). They've held up to my ProKits for 2 years and 45,000 miles. If you wanna take a ride, you can't be that far from me. Oh, and it may be worth a hike just to feel the boost

Konis are out.
It is his sister's car and I doubt they will have any chance of getting someone to do the whole job of cutting, inserting, etc. needed for the Koni inserts.

KYB GR2s are perfect for stock replacement and cheap.

it would be great to come by but it is about a 9 hour drive from NC! Maybe during the summer i could check out this thing that you refer to as boost.

the gr2's were what i had originally thought of... thanks

Go with Gabreial struts from Autozone or Pep Boys. Lifetime Warranty. I have they with Eibach Prokits and they ride and handle pretty good. Since it's your sister, go with the cheapest and cost effective. Good luck.

I've heard tokico's don't last to long. Some said 10-15k miles. Not good. Later.
