I just purchased A 1993 240sx vert. It is pretty beat up, Took me about 10 min to fall in love with the thing.

My struts are worn out(originals w/123000 miles)

I was looking at prices and got a quote for $268 each from the dealer, thats parts only. Not installed. WOW!

I was told that there are 2 types of struts: the self-adjusting kind (these are the $268 ones) and regular ones(36 each).

How do I tell which ones are on my car?If I do have self adjusting can I replace with "normal" non-self adjusting struts?

you can probelly get a set of agx struts for 268 or less

Show me where and I'll buy them right now. AGXs usually go in the $400 range for a complete set (front and rear).

Mossking--You have the factory struts, which were good for their intended purpose. Replacements can be had for MUCH less than the $268 per you were quoted by the dealer, from the aftermarket. KYB makes good stuff for street cars/daily drivers. The AGXs discussed above are adjustable struts, meaning you can make them respond differently (harder, softer) via adjuster knobs. About $400 a set, usually.

KYB also makes a good replacement for the stockers that is not adjustable, the GR2 models. I'd recommend them if you're just going to daily drive the car and are not going to track days, autocross, etc.

A lot of the shops that are NICO sponsors will carry these. Hit the Advertiser Directory and go shopping.

well i was just saying that he can get something for alot less than $1000 dollars in shock's i mean for 850 dollars you can buy k sport full body coilovers.

I got a nib set of Tein Flex for 700 cash. They were still wrapped and in the box. That 268 price you quoted earlier is closer to a "Street" price. When I say "street" I mean, not stolen - but from a buddy..or slightly used.
