hey i got an 86 RX7 with the electric struts. i was wondering if it is possible to fix them. one of mine is leaking and another is aparintly going to start. is there any way to fix it, or am i going to have to replace all 4 of my struts with replacement struts...i would love to be able to fix the electric ones. its so nice to have. and it costs way to much to get new electric ones. someone please help me out if you can! please e mail me! or...just post...

Sorry, but it costs real money to fix those. Like $225 for each front strut.

I got KYB AGX adjustable struts/shocks off eBay for $345 shipped.

yeah ok. but since i got one bad front and one bad rear. it would be cheaper to fix them at like 500 bucks we will say. then to go and put replacement struts on for over 900 bucks. and then i will still have the agustible option. so even though it costs alot its still cheaper then replacing all 4. because you cant put two new stuts with 2 used.

$345 is for all 4 struts, and KYB AGXs are 4 way adjustable front and 8 way adjustable rear (or was it the other way around?)

other way, yeah kyb agx's are used by alot of budget racers theyre hella cheap

Don't replace one front and one rear. You'll end up with handling only marginally better than you have now. Only GXLs got the electric adjustable struts. Base models and SEs got soft struts, Sports and TIIs got firm struts. You essentially had both. Give up on the cockpit adjustable struts and bolt on some KYB AGX dampers yourself. $345 for the whole car and you can adjust them how you like, but not from the driver's seat. The rear are easy and the front isn't too hard once you borrow a spring compressor.
