I got KYB AGXs with Sportlines. They are pretty good for the dollar. But like everyone will tell you, they aren't as good as a true coilover setup. But definately get some swaybars too if you have some extra money right now.

What do u mean a TRUE coil over setup? U got an example?

Sorry, true probably wasn't the best word to use. But I was talking about TEIN and setups like that.

Yeah, they should work pretty well. I'm actually really happy with mine, I just wished I went with a little more advanced setup. Anyways, I got my swaybars from http://www.optauto.com they were about 260 shipped for everything needed. I noticed a huge difference after installing them, the size or the stock rear swaybar doesn't even compare to size of the Suspension Techniques one I have on now. Oh and they come with polyurethane bushings.

Drift Machine: do you have a s13 or s14? so im guessing that your not real satisfied with your setup because you say you wish you had Full coilovers?is it not stiff enough/too stiff? im asking because im about to do suspension work and am asking around to see what fits my needs and wants.i want mine to be real stiff/tight.also, if its a fastback, can you send me some pics of how it looks.

Thanks.

I have a red s13 fastback, I can post some pics up tomorrow. I mean I'm happy with my setup, good deal for the price. They just don't have the full adjustability that other setups have. But the KYB AGXs are 4 way adjustable in the front and 8 way in the rear, you can adjust the stiffness. I like that about them, that they can be really stiff. If you don't want to spend a lot of money get them. The only reason I wish I bought a full coilover setup is cuase I have started to really get into autocrossing(like tryin to go out every weekend instead of just once a month). But if you only go autocrossing everyonce and a while and just want a sportier ride, then I recommend getting the AGXs.

thx about the info on that. actually i dont go autocrossing at all, i live in nh and i live in a part that is really really hilly, and bumpy. i want a stiffer suspension 1) because to me the more i feel the road, the more i feel my car, the more comftorable i am with the car. and 2) i dont go fast over back roads (not dirt roads i dont take dirt roads, i mean tar "back roads") and backroads r where u find the most bumps so i wont hurt my suspension really there so im not worried about ruining them any time soon.

thanks.i was already planning on the agx's if i went the spring/shock way. now im just going to decide on what springs. andybody have the Tein S.Tech?

oh yea, i received my clarion proaudio dxz725 today! i just have to wait until...tomorrow to install it.its at a repair shop getting new clutch master or slave and transmission fluid and oil change.

for springs for my car im gonna put in eibach pro kit springs. they r about 232.00 or so and i have been told that they r good springs. i have that deck in my car right now its awsome!!!!

Post by **Lsnaple** » Wed Jan 01, 2003 9:34 pm

well i dunno if im going springs now cause 240_keyy has just told me how badass his coilovers are.

yea, i was reading in the manual and found out theres so much stuff it can do. i knew it could do alot, but not that much.

Post by **Top Speed Coupe** » Wed Jan 01, 2003 9:34 pm

DriftMachince: Sorry again what do u mean by full coilovers? the springs with the adjusters? Because I found Tein springs for 130$ not adjustable. I dunno if I should save for the coilovers and shocks? or if I get those springs and AGXs? Also do u know about Campber plates?
