  • Front Struts..... what to use

    So I took the SS over some heavy bumps last night and the front right strut is making noise now. I have lowering springs and I guess Im going to just replace the front struts, cups and mounts. What struts are you guys running ?

          I know 93formulalt1 has some brand new ones for sale and new strut mounts also for a good price. I believe they were adjustable agx's

            There is a company on Amazon that sells the KYB AGX shocks for a great price, just make sure to contact them before hand to make sure they are in stock. I ordered two and it took a week before my refund...called right away to let me know the situation. I said I would wait, but they cancelled the order after 3-4 days. Ordered another set through a different seller and they sent the wrong ones, that took almost a month when before I was refunded.

                KYB AGX adjustables with Eibach sportline springs. Feels good to me.

                      Have to tried different settings?

                      I put mine at 4 (front and back) and it seems to be pretty darn good. I wish I was a little lower but overall its awesome.

                        I think I will go with them up front and leave the back alone for the time being. Once I get some cash flow going again I will be looking to change it all up

                        I figure when I do the fronts Ill look into the energy susp. control arm bushings too

                          To be honest I haven't messed around with it too much. I set it to stiffest on all 4 corners when I installed them back in early 09 and just a month ago dialed down the rears to 5. I'll have to tweak the fronts and see how it rides.
