and they have a lifetime warranty. their website is really good too. i'm just worried that they are the cheap ebay crap that everyone strays from. i'm just really not up for $1000 shocks.

Both Tokico brand and KYB brand shocks originally came on the Z from the factory. The N/A Z came with Tokicos at all four corners while iirc the TT had KYB's in the rear. The Tokico HP shocks are the oem replacement while the Illuminas are the upgraded adjustable shocks.

wow! that's really surprising news seeing as i can only find a stock set of shocks for no less than $1000 and these are only $360! and that's on ebay. from reputable vendors, they are not much more at all.

Nissan doesn't make shocks, just like they don't make brakes, clutches, starters alternators and many other parts. If you paid $1k for oem shocks, you'd be getting nissan shocks made by tokico or kyb. If you buy a nissan oem clutch, it was most likely made in an Exedy factory.

and if your sh*t isn't to spec, your going to need adjustable EVERYTHING basically to get your camber right (upper control arms, tension rods, etc etc) well i say adjustable everything, but not really. car ever been wrecked? if so, count on needing some sort of adjustable something to get the camber right after you lower it with the eibach springs. My car has never been wrecked, and i still have issues with it, but then again, no one where I live knows how to align a car properly i guess. w/e yoru list looks good.
