Nismo S-Tune or KYB AGX with Tein S-Tech? Which one is better?

[GuSpeed]

Anyone know which one is better? It's for a 92 Nissan 240sx. Thank you!

[rico05]

S-Tunes. I have em. Do a search for my user name. I have addressed this as have other more times than I care to remember...

[nismofly]

do you mean like using the s-tune shock with the tein spring?

the nismos are a shock/spring combo already, they come that way

[silkk]

No, he said KYB AGX's with S-Tech's.

I'd go with Nismo S-Tune.

Get the Nismo-STunes designed especically for our cars, and complete whith mounts, boots so U just bolt them on .

dammit too late of reply. I already bought KYB AGX with S-tech. Dammit!!! I thought since Nismo S-Tune shock is KYB what if its the same as GR2. You see what I mean?

The Nismo coilovers have stiffer springs than the standard OE setup. Whether the dampers are made by KYB or not, I'm sure they're properly damped for the higher spring rate. I've read Rico's review on the S-Tunes and they certainly don't sound under damped.

Hahahahaha. Under dampened, Good one.

Nismo Spec KYB Dampers:Front:Rebound: 353lbfCompression: 160lbf

Rear: Rebound: 323lbfCompression: 124lbf

KYB GR2s are only 10% firmer than stock. Stock is

Front:Rebound:205 lbfCompression: 88lbf

Rear:Rebound: 157 lbfCompression: 75 lbf

Now, who is underdamped?

Thanks for the specs, Rico. I definitely want to pick up some S-Tunes this Spring. I don't need the adjustability and don't feel like trying to match damper A to spring B. I figure I'll let Nismo do all the hard work.

i have the s-techs and the kyb agx's and their amazing man.

just set the agx's to maximum stiffness and u will corner so flat its crazy

and i got stock front sway bar (no rear cause im base edition) and no strut bars.. all that will come next

you made a good choice :P

max

A friend of mine running AGXs told me that the stiffest setting on the shocks is way too stiff....even for track use.

[emperor_lunchbox]

man, this post goes both ways. which to choose!
