Actually, we don't handle Tokicos or Nismos. We do stock KYB and Koni tho.... If you want Tokicos, Alex@Southwest Autoworks is your guy! There is such a wide range of hardware out there for these vehicles and no one shop is going to have exactly what every driver is looking for. We are all here to help each other out with questions or problems. I would encourage all the board members to check out all the options and support all of the companies that sponsor the forums. That's why we are all here anyway right?:)

I personally would recommend the KYB AGX shocks. I've had very good results in both aggressive street driving (not street racing, that would be illegal) and hardcore drifting. On the stiffest settings, you will notice a firmer, slightly bumpier ride, but you'll really notice the difference when you come to a turn on a freeway or hard-banking highway, the sign says "SLOW to 45 or 55 MPH" and you are able to take it at 90-95MPH. Adjustable gas-filled is the way to go.

I have lowered my 1995 240sx SE with some Eibach lowering springs. The ride quality is really stiff because every little bump is felt through my spine... If I want the height of my car to stay to same, should I just go with non- adjustable shocks (tokico, maybe KYB).

If you are looking for a smoother ride with cornering abilities I would suggest springtech struts. I bought the sprint springs and springtech package for my 240 and I am extremely happy with them. I bought my kit through http://www.suspensionmax.comI think they sell on eBay but I am not sure. I’m very happy with the struts because I don’t feel like I’ve been shaken like a martini after driving around town or on a road trip.

The damper choice will also depend on which Eibach spring set you are running. If it is just the Pro-Kit you could probably get by with something non-adjustable. The ride height is not going to change all that much unless you go with a strut that has an adjustable spring perch.
