Recommended Shocks for 1987 non turbo

I need a good recommendation of shocks for my 1987 GLE RX-7, it has the ability to electronically adjust suspension so I wanted to get the right shocks specificily for that. Name and a website link would be great.

depends on how much you want to spend, don't worry about the AAS. If I had the cash I'd get some tien coilovers, really depends how much you're looking to spend and what kind of springs you want to run and what you want to use the car for.

Get rid of that AAS crap.
It's was a novelty item, and most of the aftermarket performance shocks will out-performance the stock AAS (even when brand new) hand-down.

Tokico "blues" are recommends for a slight upgrade.
You should be able to get them for under $300 for a set of 4.

For adjustable, KYB AGX's give you the best bang for the buck.
