definitely...i have yet to be able to get my differential oil changed out, but i'm already noticing that after a little spirited driving i can smell the oil cooking in the differential, hard to describe but it kinda smells like when your oven has been on for a while and then you go to open it and you get that faint smell of all the oils from the food melting away inside the oven. Most likely going to be changing all the fluids when i get my refund check from taxes as well as putting on some eibach swaybars

I would go Hotchkis instead of Eibach.

thats what i thought too, but after searching around the forums seems most people either preferred the whitelines or the eibachs, most didnt really have good things to say about the hotchkis unless they changed something with their swaybars within the last year or so. come to think of it, i forgot fontana nissan over here is an authorized whiteline swaybar dealer.
