S13 Kyb Agx???? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ae86driftn · 07-29-2003, 04:08 PM

Just installed my agx's with sprint spring for my S13 about a week ago. I love them, but I notice that the rears make a lot of compression noise when they hit a bump and compress. Is this common??? I have them set at F:1 R:2 for normal driving and on the weekend at F:3 R:6, 4:8 setting is bumpy for me. Any one else that has agx's please let me know. thanks

compression noise as in what, like a crash noise or like a air shee noise. I love the noise the agx's make when they compress.

KSee777 · 07-29-2003, 04:21 PM

It's nomal. I have the exact setup as you. I dunno what exactly is making the sound, but people tells me it's normal.

ZodiacSR · 07-29-2003, 04:47 PM

Very normal, don't worry about it.

KiDyNomiTe · 07-29-2003, 05:25 PM

All shocks, regardless of if they are for cars, or holding up a door, make some sort of noise.

If you have a hatch open it, it'll make a noise as it opens. Some of course are louder than others, but that is most likely the sound.

ae86driftn · 07-30-2003, 12:11 PM

It's a compression noise, the air sound, shocks make when you go over a bump. It's just a little louder air noise in the back than I'm use to.

hookedup240 · 07-31-2003, 02:45 PM

Yes the air noise if very normal, they are gas shocks and you can hear them pretty well inside the car especially the back ones, i really don't hear my fronts.

4 up front and 8 in back is the only way I drive my car

I know what noise you're talking about, I wondered the same thing when I first got them. But with my setting, I don't hear the spring compressing at all, just a few rattles

I have stiff linear springs so it's necessary to run 4f 8r. Still not a punishing ride though. Just handles like it's on rails (I love HICAS)

kansas240 · 08-01-2003, 04:56 PM

i have a coupe, and I don't hear any noise, but I haven't lowered my car, just put the agx's on and projectsilvia tension rods. i think maybe the spring is what you here? i put a little grease on the ends so it can settle into its spot w/o being noisy. jm.02
