They are Monroe Gas Charged Shock Absorbers, i think for the front and Sensatrac Gas Charged stock replacement cartridge (I think for the back) I just wrote the names for what they said on the box. The guy at the parts store said they are S12 stock, so I'm guessing they are I'm going to get my mechanic to put them on tomorrow.

yah....they sound like oem replacement...are you going to put them on with canuck springs? They might blow out with canuck springs...

Just my $0.02 worth here, but sensatrac's are garbage. I bought a set for an old pathfinder and it dove worse than with the blown stuff. Took it back and demanded they return my greenbacks.
"I'm going to get my mechanic to put them on tomorrow."
Hey Daddy Warbucks, that is like a two or three Corona job, basic tools and more greenbacks in your pocket for barley pops.

After having the kyb agx on my car for a couple of days...I am so happy with them...they have been so worth the money...
On another note I was talking to my brother about bumpsteer spacers/roll center adjusters today...and he said they would actually help me out some...and that if i could get the number to T3 if they didnt have them up on the site he could prolly just make them for me...I need to look around T3 for caster camber plates as it is because I guess his top hats come unthreaded...

You can just email the T3 guy, just say you want 200 sx RCA's. I emailed him, but never ordered them yet.

hmm ok i wanna lower my car about 2-3 inches, i wanna do coils in the front but dont know what to use in the back, i heard about megan racing making coils for front and back but cant lower it that much.
i would like to use coils for the front and back but cant find any for the rear, any help would be help full!
Thanks

for the fronts to run s13 coil overs you have to replace everything to s13 parts from the lca out....or cut and weld the stock strut tubes. In the back you can just separate the coilover spring from the rear shock...check out jay's build thread and mod mastaz build thread. I went with the cm springs/mismatched shocks because it is cheaper...but I am not as low as i could be with a set of coilovers...

Just finished installing all of the rear end parts last night. Only modification needed was grinding down sway bar bushings a little. (I used MMR subframe bushings so no idea there)
