problem with kyb agx's

[2fast2forty]

I installed KYB AGX shocks on my 91 240. I have had them in for about a week now. They road beautiful for about 5 days then the last 2 or 3 days the back shocks have seemed to softened up and ride almost like my old stock suspension ( very bad). I have the shocks set on the 4 which is the most extreme you can go. I looked at the shocks and noticed some kind of liquid has leaked on the thing that goes around the shock not the spring but the other thing which i am unsure of the name for that peice. If any of you have any idea of what has happened i would gladly like to know.

is your car lowered, if so, which springs? anything over 1.5" drop I believe they don't guarentee.

I have eibach sportlines. But i emailed the company and asked them if they would work on the shocks and they said they would.

good deal... how are the roads around there? my stock shocks blew in like week of driving with stechs.

I live outside the city so so the roads arent so bad, but i go to school in town and thats where everthing is and the roads are ok in some places but some they just suck. I looked at them yesterday and i think maybe a ceal has broken because i can see something has leeked out of the shocks.

Wow, I would definately guess that that is a defect in the manufacturing. I accidentally had my car set to 2/8 on the back for awhile and than switched them to 7/8 and thankfully they are very stiff. So I would say that if KYB claims that the sportline springs can be used with them and you had them set up 4 in the back than its a defect. By the way, I'm using 7/8 on the back and 3/4 on the front

other people have emailed them and they were told not to use sportlines. but mainly why is this in the ka forum and not suspension?

[2fast2forty]

Well when i was looking at the settings on the back i understood it that there were really only 4 different settings. So 7 on the dial would really be putting it on 4 like on the front shocks. But maybe i am wrong .

Well i have heard other people put those springs on the AGX's. I will have to call again and talk.

240DRFT: Sorry next time i will remember to put it in the suspension section. Its just it was on my 240 so i figured i put it in here. Sorry again.
