having used both, they are both good. depends on what you're looking for also. kyb's on my 09 g sedan journey with eihach f & b and new end links at about 92k. incredible difference... tokikos on a lowered volvo wagon (volvo performance) for 3 years. worked well but much rougher ride.

if you will lower your car, go with tokiko... kyb's if stock, imo

From what I could find for an x, it looks like our only options for the X are KYB, Monroe, and Tokico. I only found the Monroes on one site, so that could be wrong. Some websites even say the x coupe and x sedan use the same one, but other say they're different.

My 2010 xS sedan is squeaking now too. I have Swift springs on OEM dampers. They have lasted me a good while. Assuming it's the shocks/struts, I'll be needing replacements too. Do we really need to order the bellows too? Or will the ones already on the car transfer over?

RockAuto has a decent price on these.

I had KYB replacements on my 2004 Maxima, and those worked just fine. Don't be afraid of KYB.

I am not sure how to tell, but recently my front end has a different sound to it.(Swifts/Oem). The roads here are so Effing bad after the horrid weather. It handles well, but I don't like the sound over bumps which I don't think it made prior.
