for a '91 Hatchback with SUPER HICAS:
KYB AGX says not compatible "(exc. Hicas Adjustable Suspension)"<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>
How about Tokico Blues?
Koni's?
What works and what doesn't - from experience please. Do I need a HICAS eliminator to fix?
Plan on using with Intrax Springs.
Thanks guys (and girls)!

I don't know why they say that, the HICAS cars' struts are the same size as non-HICAS. The spring rates are slightly higher, which I guess is what they're worried about?
I can't tell you from experience what works best for your car, but I can tell you that the AGX shocks will bolt in.
If they exclude HICAS cars I'm surprised they don't exclude convertibles as well.

Hey AuburnRyan, i have a 91 fastback with hicas too and i got the kyb agx's and i have no problems with them at all neither did my mechanic. So i really dont' know why it says not for super hicas. I also put on the eibach sportlines.

Keep in mind that the factory part numbers are different from non-HICAS cars, HICAS cars, and convertibles. Even though the part numbers are different, they are interchangeable. It's just that the HICAS cars and convertibles are slightly stiffer.
I can't tell you if aftermarket parts will interchange. You have to contact the individual manufacturers to see if they incorporated any design that would make the parts non-interchangeable.
