I've needed new struts since I bought the car, but I haven't had the money for new ones as well as I've been fixing other things.Idk if all the z's have adjustable suspension, but I do; it's turbo as well.

Basically, I'm looking for a really good brand that isn't too expensive that I can order 4 new adjustable struts from. Any suggestions? If it helps; in the future, I'd like to make it sport suspension or something, to effectively take advantage of the RWD, if you know what I mean ;-)

Tokico Illuminas are about the best adjustable shocks available for the Z31.

+1 to what ZBum said. However, they are manually-adjusted dampers. The only replacement electronic dampers are OEM, which are hard to come by and expensive.

keep in mind aftermarket adjustable will not be controlled by your swithc, and you can run non adjustables but you have to mill the gland nut
