My 87 300zx turbo has the adjustable shocks but the rears are shot. Nissan stopped making the electronicly adjustable shocks and I heard somewhere that you can’t just replace them with the regular non-adjustable oem shocks. Comparing the two, the differences are minimal and it looks like the regular shocks should be fine. Anybody else had experience with this? ---

I’ve used Monroes…blew them in about 3 weeks, although that could be because my springs are so worn. When I put my new Sustech springs in right away I will most likely run Tokico HPs to keep costs down but still have a fairly stiff shock. Check out [http://www.thespecshop.com/](http://www.thespecshop.com/) for tons of Z31 aftermarket parts. ---

It doesn’t matter if you don’t use the stock adjustable shock at all. I am using Tokico illuminas in my z and they are awesome. ---

Shitty dude. I found a place in B.C. that sells for ~$210 cdn for all 4. I’m just seeing if someone in town can match that, if not I’m ordering from them. [http://www.nationaltirewholesale.com/tokico/hp.html](http://www.nationaltirewholesale.com/tokico/hp.html)
