kyb struts with tein springs

[240DRFT]

i want new shocks/ springs so i'm thinking of going with kyb agx shocks and tein type-s springs. what do you guys think about these, are they good together? thx.

oh ya, it'd be on a '91 s13(pretty much stock).

yep

YES. But please search before posting, this has been discussed so many times it makes me sick..

Do yourself a favor, save yourself some money and go with GR-2's. I have them on mine and a buddy of mine has AGX's on his car and mine are as stiff as his are on their second to the hardest setting. Given that the a 4 in the front and 8 setting in the rear with AGX's will practically give you brain damage(or massive deep tissue kidney massages) I suggest the GR-2's with S.TECH's, you will not regret it.

Hey I had a question about the agx's,when you set them to their softest setting are they even soft?

[drifts14x]

They get about as soft as factory, maybe a little more, I asked my friend Kyle to do it just for you, we drove it around the block but his 17's began rubbing the insides of the fenders in the turns, the body roll will definitely come back if you soften them, so yes, the soften up, but trust me, you don't want that.

does your car look any lower with the s-tech/agx combo? I have this same set up in my 91 and to tell you the truth the car looks like its riding at stock height. The only reason I can come up with is the sr motor is a lot lighter than the ka, what are your views?

I had this exact setup. The KYBs were a god sent blessing, they were wonderful. The Tein springs on the other hand didn't lower the car much if at all (I set it next to multiple stock susp cars and it was only about a half inch diff) and felt softer than stock. When I did the swap I stood on the Tein and stood on the stock (fronts,t he rears are too long and thin to do that without busting my ***) and the Tein wasnt any stiffer than my OEM springs with 60k on them. I was pretty pissed when the suspension had settled after the swap and there was still no real lowering on my car. I ended up selling them to a local buddy of mine when i started commuting 58 miles to work every day (116 miles total a day) and I am so happy I did. It was a major waste of money and I wish I would have spent the extra 50 bucks for Eibach Sportlines, much better spring than the S. Tech.Let me know if you need any pricing info on them, hit me up on aim, I have alot of guys that will give you good pricing on them.
