Agreed. I'd take KYB GR2 shocks and some mild lowering springs (Eibach Pro-Kit or H&R Sport) over those Ebay mystery shocks. If you're spending the money on the Konis and some springs, you could always get the Nismo S-Tunes too.

I have Tein S-Tech springs that I haven't installed yet. Any thoughts on these?

ive always wondered who buys **** like that. Come on man, if you gonna half *** it and go shocks and springs at least go koni or agx. Good call on the s techs tho, kgmm or rsr race would have been nicer but atleast u didnt get lame progressive rate springs.

Well, I have a convertible and I was told to not go with a seriously stiff spring setup as the chasis would flex next and that's not good.

I'm thinking of getting AGX's to go with the S-Tech's.

I'm trying to find the AGX & GR2 pt#s for you, I was going off of the eBay vehicle listing, and KYB listed a Hicas susp for a 240sx. What are your vehicle details?

My car is a 1993 convertible. I'm curious as to why you're getting me part numbers... Nobody will list a convertible when it comes to shocks...

My first choice right now are the AGX. I've seen ebay's prices. Anyone know of a better price anywhere?

really the springs make little(positive) difference on the street anyway. the shocks are more important. the stock springs are not bad at all.

im thinking AGX would be your best bet. regardless of if you get agx or somthing else, i would deffinitley steer clear of thoes ebay shocks.
