spring dilemma... =p

[prNonVtec4u]

hmm... i'll give that a try and go from there then what kinda shocks you think will handle the ride height well? i'm looking at some Tokico blues....

???...

???...

did you just quote yourself?

edit: oh lol, nevermind...im on GR2's. they are pretty good but dont offer as much performance as the AGX's.

remember to replace the top strut bushings, they are only a dollar each!

[prNonVtec4u]

???.... you talking about the round rubber piece that sits between the spring and the top strut mount?

AGX is a good shock but they are drop killers. I would go for the tokico illuminas. The white ones basically.

i think that is called the spring isolater...this one is the upper strut bushing. they sandwich the tophat.

what exactly do you mean by "drop killers"?....

[BB6-SH]

what it means it doesnt give you the drop the springs are numbered at.

[prNonVtec4u]

so the car'd sit higher or lower?...

[Shadow1]

it would sit higher than the springs are supposed to give you.

EX: if your supposed to get a 2" drop from your springs, those struts would give you a 1 3/4"- 1 1/2" drop. it would raise the hieght of the drop.

make sence?

[prNonVtec4u]

yea, sure does, now that i know that, i'll go ahead and get those since i'm looking for lil higher ride height

[NAiL05]

Yea look at MXCX car. His car is riding on AGX and tein H techs or whatever. Drop is 2" in front and 1.75" in back as I recall. Shit sits higher than my 2.25" on stock struts lol. Oh yea my drop technically isnt 2.25" anymore with wear and tear over 3 years.

[oranger]

Wait, nail, what do yo umean they are drop killers? I mean AGX's, I was looking at getting those and dropping about 1.5-2" in the front and 1" in the rear, going for the raked look...but if AGX's won't work...what'd ya mean?

Edit: Sheesh im a dumbass...i should read the rest of the thread before asking questions...gotcha!

The Koni Yellows are height adjustable and work well with the Skunk2 springs. The spring rate is supposedly in the 500+ area (i've been told 560) and the Koni Yellows do a pretty good job of helping your car sit where you want it plus increase your ride quality over the AGXs. The H&R springs that were mentioned are a good combo with the AGX springs. Ride quality is good and drop is decent. End result is usually an even drop though is sometimes not the case since AGX shocks are for some reason reknown on our cars for making the car sit higher in front than in back instead of the raked look or "even" look some of us are seeking.
With the Skunk's on my car I have adjusted the height to where I have a 2 finger gap all the way around and there is no fear of breaking a downpipe or header.

hmm... do you mind posting some pix i'd really appreciate it

[prNonVtec4u]

also, what considered "better"? the koni yellows or the koni reds?
