No, no... your advice was fine. It was the OP's reaction that was funny, is all.

Maybe this will help someone. I had a broken front spring on my G37x sedan at 105k miles. I decided to replace the front shocks, springs, and rear shocks. Maybe I'll do those springs as well. Four KYB GeForce shocks and two OEM front springs cost me $575. Using all OEM parts it would have been about $1100. I have only done the front so far. The ride is slightly stiffer, but there is no difference in handling. This may just be due to me being used to the old struts. We'll see how long they last. I can recommend them to anyone looking to replace theirs without wanting to pay OEM price. I found all four shocks as a package deal on ebay for $299.
