Message Car has 133K on it, rides great, I can't even really compress the shock when I push down on a bumper, and the wheel arch measures just barely under 26.5 inches in the front and right at 26.5 at the rear. No leaking from the shocks either. Had it aligned at Nissan right after I bought it and they didn't mention anything wrong (which surprised me actually).

I have a receipt from 2006 that the radius rods were replaced and an alignment done, but no evidence of shocks/springs being replaced. PO passed away and car was sold to a Z enthusiast which is who I bought it from. Some of the records are missing, but I do have one that shows over $5K put into it at 100K miles which is when the TB and plenum was pulled for a knock sensor and IACV problem. From what I can tell the PO maintained the car fairly well and wasn't shy about spending money to keep it up.

So the question is, could the stock OEM suspension make it this far and still be in that good of condition? I've got some barely used OEM TT shocks on the way from a member here, but don't want to prematurely change anything if I don't have to.

1996 TT #61 of 300
