Default Sealed-non sealed struts?

I'm looking for new struts and Tirerack had different models of KYB's for cars w/ or w/out sealed struts. I'll probably be going with Tokicos or Monroes rather than the KYB's, but I want to make sure what I buy will work. The Tokico's I was looking at from www.shox.com said they were for non-sealed.

Basically, I'm wondering how to tell or know whether I have sealed or non-sealed struts. I have a '92 with ABS (I've seen this associated with struts in a thread, so if that's relevant) If someone has model numbers handy for whatever I'd need, that'd be great.

Thanks.

I have a 1994 and put non-sealed Tokicos on. I checked the application guide on Tokico's website and it says the 1992 is exactly the same. The model numbers are in the front HZ3138 and in the rear HZ3139. Hope that helps

Thanks, I think I'll probably go with the Tokico's. I was considering the Monroe SensaTracs since L-Sport and lobo had been through a few different setups and said the B&G and Monroe rode the smoothest. I'd probably lean a little more toward comfort over performance, I don't drive real fast and don't push it too hard very often.

Anyway, thanks.
