Question about shocks

Well, ive been looking around for shocks and have found different pricing all around. For kyb they are $102 for the left and right front and $83 for rear. Now, this is in the case that my car does not have Electronically Adjustable Suspension. But i dont know if my car DOES have Electronically Adjustable Suspension . In what model does this come in? Furthermore, if i dont know what model/package my FD was, how can i find out?

Thanks in advance.

No, the FD never had an electronically adjustable suspension.

when i was pricing around internet/local shops, the advance auto parts guy asked me if mine was the model that came with that. I told him i had never heard of it and he said i should make sure mine was not like that......

You are looking at shocks for FCs, not FDs. KYB doesn't make shocks all around for FDs, AFAIK. Pretty much you are looking at Koni, Bilstien, and Tokico.

Most parts stores computers are not fully correct. They will also as if your fd is turbo or not, even though it only comes with turbos. Or if your fc is fuel injected or not. The electronic suspension is from the fc and sometimes the info carries over.

Buy shocks at shox.com or TireRack.com. CALL THEM so that you can be sure you order the right parts.

You'll find that local auto parts stores are useless when it comes to the FD RX7. So are most online places...
