Sorry, I've been looking for suspension deals all week long and I haven't seen anything that sweet. Try ebay and get the sh****s and springs for cheap seperately

Yeah, the page isn't set up too well. they have specials in a couple different places. You were looking at the "super specials" The AGX/Whiteline deal is under "specials" on the left hand menu in blue.

I have this combo - great all around street set-up. The Whitelines are supposedly better than the eibachs b/c they have linerar rate fronts with progessive rears. Eibachs have progressive rates all around.

Hey guys, I talked to my buddy and he said he can sell the KYB AGX for 571 cash and local pickup. If you guys are around San Francisco and want them tell me and I'll arrange a meeting with you and my buddy Tony. I don't know how much shipping will be to other places though. One thing he said was that there needs to be buyers in pairs since his profit margin is so low that if he went to the distributor to pick them up one at a time, it'd only pay for gas. LOL. So if you want one, find a buddy to go in with you. If you're wondering if he's legit, he is, and I think the pickup place will be MachIII a local shop. He helped my buddy get a new ACT clutch within 2 hours for 285 for his 86. Leave a post if you're interested and I'll try to group them up in pairs. I'll try to find out how much shipping will be for the shocks/springs but he said it'd be pretty expensive to ship them.

gentlemen, well both make high quality products out of low quality "meat". The deciding factor in a taco bell v Mc d's debate is the fact that taco bell is just plain cooler. Come on, at certain taco bells they hang the ground beed in a container and "spray" it onto the tortilla out of a tube, lovingly referred to as the meat hose.

What was this post about originally suspension or something?

WTH are you talking about? Arby's roast beef is sliced real thin. It's not rubbery at all. It's the best damn fast food sandwhich in town bar none. :ylsuper

Can you translate what this means for the non technical people? Why would you want the fronts different then the rears and what effect does this have?

Linear rate springs = spring has 1 fixed rate across its entire coil. Progressive rate springs = spring has a "range" of rates across its length, usually a softer rate on the outer coils to soak up vibration and bumps, and then a stiffer rate on the inside coils for hard cornering/compression.

A linear front and progressive rear setup means that you will "feel" more from the steering when you turn in, the fronts will compress consistently no matter what the road surface is because they're only 1 fixed rate. Progressives tend to suddenly change rates if they compress rapidly which is not good if you're pushing the suspension to its limits. Having the rears progressive will help you from rattling your a$$ off in the meantime (linear springs tend to be more harsh), and since the rears are more involved with power application than steering in RWD there's less of a need to have a fixed rate spring back there.

This is all oversimplified, check out the Suspension FAQ and other related threads for more detailed info on the difference between the two.

yea arbys is awesome maybe the one near you sucks, linear springs = one spring rate through the whole spring, progressive spring rate means harder spring rates at thetop and bottom and softer spring rate in the middle. im not sure why you would want the setup he was talking about maybe its better for drifting or something.

Perhaps we should make a poll as to what is the best food to spring rate setup. :batmanOh yeah just how stupid can I get? Who knows.

no its generally accepted that most arby's blow hard. Now when you get a good one though.... its magic. Too bad the best resturant on earth happens to be waffle house. A) no matter when you go their everyones uglier than you B) open 24hrs a day C) Smoothered. Covered.
