Message	They were never OEM on the 300ZX, but they're billed as OEM quality. The KYB AGX is a popular adjustable strut which is popular on these cars. The Tokico adjustables are another option for the aftermarket spring/strut combo. Definitely replace your springs. If they're OEM, they've sagged at least as much as Eibach springs. Also replace the rubber mounts and boots, all the parts shown in this kit: Replacement OEM bushings I've had the Tokico adjustables and the OEM TT 2-setting adjustables, both with Eibach springs. I prefer the Tokicos. Better feel and not so bouncy as the OEM set. For close to the cost of AGX or Tokico struts, Eibach springs and the replacement rubber parts which are worn and decayed, you could get the SPL Coilovers: SPL Coilovers They've got rave reviews on here, and I can't wait to get mine in. Going on a year in storage for them :-/ "...Downpipes own. They own everything...anything...all there ever was and will be...they should be stock on all cars. Screw the environment, emissions, noise!
