    Well I do not follow through with and just have kept running the car on the original set as we have 88K on it so far. So no direct experience here.

    I just ordered rear KYB's for my wife's Micra. See how it goes. Front struts will be the KYB as well later this year before fall. Shipping was just to high for the fronts on Rock auto

    2015 Micra S (manual)
    no A/C /no power options/ block heater/4x 2 Ohm speakers...all factory stock in 2015
    Feb 2015 build
    9,999 purchase price + tax..no additional 1600$ because it was a 2015 purchased in 2016
    so receipt says $8,399....+1600 .... so they look good i guess...for a brand new car!

    Sorry for the delay in replying! I bought the rear from Rock. Probably ship to a US parcel service at the border the fronts as the shipping is too high for the fronts..

    Finally had the struts installed all around. Also bought the mounting hardware as well off of Rock Auto. Our 2015 Micra is like an entirely different car. Drives so nicely. Gone are the bobbing and all the tired strut actions. Mechanic had to add sway bar links. They were gone at 93,800 KM.
    Rides better than a new one!
    To summarize I bought the KYB for the Versa. Bought the Micra mounting hardware off of RA as well.
    Still have a squeek going over speed bumps...
