springs for kyb agx's - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

yashica · 07-28-2004, 10:57 PM

I was thinking of tanabe gf springs with some kyb agx's. Good springs and there is a master dealer near my house, so they are a good bargain as well. Just wondering if anyone has tried this combo and had problems with it. Any suggestions for a different spring?(heard s-techs run well with agx's)

Anything under about 4kg/mm is fine.

People like the S-tech because they're dirt cheap and they don't have super soft rear springs like so many kits.

nothing too stiff and nothing too low. it seems alot of ppl mate them with eibach prokits.

holisticbeatz · 07-29-2004, 02:23 PM

Depends on what kind of driving you plan on doing.

*HaLo* · 07-29-2004, 02:24 PM

too stiff or too low = blown AGX...

AGX blows.

hmm interesting. i plan on doing auto x, maybe tool around with drifting in the future. i wanted something adjustable. i guess my real question is, what would you all recomend for a shock/spring combo??

*HaLo* · 07-29-2004, 02:41 PM

Koni with whatever.

Var · 07-29-2004, 02:49 PM

Koni with spring= just as much as the new SPL coilovers. shock spring combos are a big mistake. everyone here had made the same mistake. go buy coilovers

sucker4stalefish · 07-29-2004, 07:18 PM

coilovers are expensive if youre broke. if ur going agx's, i got those and some suspension tech springs (linear, 1.3" drop, moderately stiff) for 512$ total. I got the springs new off ebay for a good price though.

i have S techs.......and they're ok with the agx's. feels a lil underdamped in the back. a friend of mine has tanabes on his agx's, also feels ok. not a huge diff between the two........and they'll hold u over until u can shell out for nicer stuff.

urbanimpakt · 07-29-2004, 09:23 PM

what do you consider to low on the AGX's?? I'm looking to go the strut/shock route and just need some more input

Pacman · 07-30-2004, 03:41 PM

What about Tokico struts and S-Techs? How is that combo?

sucker4stalefish · 07-30-2004, 10:32 PM

anything lower than a 1.5 inch drop will void your agx warranty because it will blow the strut out faster
