Tein S-Tech over AGX adj.

Post by **MainEvent212** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

hey everyone, i'm looking to buy some Tein S-Tech springs and KYB AGX adjustable shocks

as of now, i've looked at enjukuracing.com, the only place that carries both for my S14 240sx...

they are wanting to charge me $589.98 plus shipping and handling...is that a good deal? does anyone know a better place to order from?

i saw the s-tech springs on ebay for $139 buy it now, and tirerack.com has agx's for $350

latest update....s-tech springs on ebay are 120, buy it now i believe...

how come the s-tech springs are so cheap? they ain't good or something?

maine, the tein's on ebay for 120 are for the s13 I am almost certain, the s14's are 139 shipped and 30 for shipping I think.

Hope this helps........

jsut and advise.... the stech are made good enough to work with stock springs... so the AGX adj.. arent really necesary unless you are doing track stuff which you want to utilizes the most out of ur suspension....

i would suggest getting gr2's which are 207 to ur door from summit... also call up different stores and see if they price match.... and if you go to http://www.optauto.com i think they are about 140.... and call another place see if they can match that price.... so you get the most for ur money.....

ahh...are the AGX really not worth it? i hear they're good and i have the money to play with

i have a "sponsor" of sorts

being ajustable is good, i have em and i like the daily driving quality, and when you go to the track, you just turn em up to where you want them.

yeah being able to tinker wit ur settings is good... adn if you have the money for it or the "sponsors" then so be it..... i didnt have much money nor the sponsors.. so i had no choice.. but to go with the cheapest possible....

damn i just finished installing Tein S techs and Kyb AGX on my car (S13) on monday. The drop is right were i want it to be, not too low. The handling is freakin' badass. I have the shocks at 2/4 front and 4/8 back. I got the springs for 150 and shocks for 400. Enjuku is 20 minutes from me

The set up is nice for daily driving to some agressive driving. Later on i will upgrade to Tein HE's.

yeah go agx's, after i put mine in i swore i'd never go back to non-adjustable. i have mine on 2 front/7 rear for daily driving (what? am i insane?? ahah)

only thing i don't like about the setup is green springs on red struts. ewww. luckily you can't see em to well with my stock alloys on.

yeah its kinda festive dont you think? Come Christmas time, ill be ready:D

Wow 7 in the rear, most ive gone in the rear is 5. I was having some fitment issues so i set it back to 4 until i fixed it. Im going to try them on the lowest setting and the highest setting once the springs and shocks are "broken in"

Post by **driftaholic** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

i tried 4/8 and it's like someone shooting nails up your arse....wow

Post by **MainEvent212** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

Post by **MainEvent212** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

ground to fender in the front is 25-1/4". i measured my friend's and stock his is 27-3/8" but i think he's got one with the lift kit on it

. the s.techs dropped mine just under 2"

maine: fronts are 4 way adjustable, rears are 8 way, so 4 front/8 rear (or just 4/8 for short) is the hardest setting

Post by **Nismo1182** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

Mine dropped like a 1" so far, i have low profile tires 205-50-15 so it still looks high to me. But the ride height is right where i want it, not too low. Plus when i upgrade to bigger wheels and tires, the extra wheel gap will dissapear.

Post by **mickee** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

actually it will not disappear.....

Post by **MainEvent212** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

actually...it usually does

Post by **Nismo1182** » Wed May 07, 2003 4:32 pm

yup it does, bigger wheels and a much higher profile like = less fender gap. My friends 340 with 205-55-15 looks lower because of the extra sidewall.

Put low profile tires on a pick up truck and see how that wheel gap appears.
