I found two part #'s for KYB Struts one is for sport package(W0133-1812872-pass side sport,W0133-1819462-driv side sport--- 339055-pass side base ,339056 driv side base) and one is for base model.Same thing for rear shocks (Sport-W0133-1827662,Base349027) My question is which struts would be the correct ones to order if my FX is Base but I will be using H&R Sport Springs.
What is the difference between sport and Base FX Struts?
I tried the live help chat and got nowhere with that see below----

Looks like a better deal at shockwharehouse but I was wondering if the spoert struts and shocks were different after seeing the sport application listed at Auto Parts Wharehouse.
I checked the manufacturer part #'s listed at autowarehouse for the sport package struts and shocks at KYB's website and no such listing.

I called autopartswarehouse today and even though they listed the wo133-1812872 as a sport package strut they told me it is the same as the oe 339056 just from a different vendor.
 
yeah man, from what I've gathered even on the oem struts the difference in valving from sport to non is pretty insignificant, so when kyb finally released to the aftermarket after the 5 year lockdown infiniti had on the struts they only use one valving to service all applications, hence one part #... also, FYI, the OE struts are also manufactured by KYB so your pretty much getting the exact same thing in a KYB aftermarket strut as if you went to the dealer & spent 3 times as much...
 
Yup-Looks like Shockwarehouse is the best price.

I think I'll replace the upper strut bearings while I'm at it as well.
