I have a 1993 240sx super hicas and im thinking of installing coil-over without having to eliminated the hicas. Anyone know where i can find coil-over for the car, cause i've look everywhere and can't find it. If anyone knows plz feel free to let me know

You do realize that HICAS has absolutely nothing to do with the suspension, and any shock/spring/coilover to fit any 89-94 240SX will work fine, right?

I'm guessing not.

it doesnt matter but question is a hicas just supposed to be an upgraded supsension from nissan?

No.
HICAS is a steering component that's optional on 240sx.

All it does is steer the rear wheels in a direction when your front wheels are turned.
It has nothing to do with installing coilovers. You'll be fine.

OK cool thanks for the info

in fact, do yourself a favor and eliminate the hicas after installing your coilvovers, because it makes corners a little scary at high speeds. ive personally witnessed this in a 300zx.
