Default To those with Nismo S-Tunes

I just purchased a set and it won't be here for a while but I was wondering if they come with strut tops and the rest of the hardware such as bump stops, washers, etc? Since I don't have my stock suspension anymore, I might have to buy a set of strut tops.

Thanks

-Roger

May be a dumb question, but if you are in fact replacing the stock suspension with the s-tune, does the s-tune come with all the hardware for a direct swap?

yeah, they swap right in. They aren't just the lower strut, it's the whole strut with spring and top, they just bolt right in. Now if you don't have the bolts or screws that hold them in, then that's another thing, you will have to order them. The rears are the 2 shocks and 2 springs, the fronts are 2 complete struts. I'm not sure what you're talking about stops, but you should have the stock stops still installed, unless someone took them out??

they come with everything you need except the rear shock upper mounts...

the front shock / spring assembly is fully assembled...

If you do not have your rear upper and lower rubber spring seats you will need them as well....

Pillow ball mounts will be louder then the OE mounts which are alreay pretty rigid in the rear... wouldnt be much of an upgrade going to pillow mounts....

I sold my stock suspension since the Tein Flex came with everything I needed. If the Nismo fronts are fully assembled, then it looks like I only need the rear upper strut mounts. Do you have a link to them on your site Jason?

Ok so if you are doing a direct swap from the stock suspension to s-tune, you wont need those parts, unless you dont have the stock suspension pieces. Just want to make sure if i order it, i have all the hardware.

Correct, if you are putting S-Tune on a stock suspension you will not need those...

The above parts are all of the parts required if they are missing... that includes hardware, paper gasket, stopper, boot, nuts

this does NOT include the upper and lower rubber spring seats...
