Default putting on AGX with GC anyone

Doing this set up on my 89 CRX...and im wondering is there anything else that I should know before I start. Im going with i think Tyson's advise to "if you need" buy two bump stops and cut them in half...also im wondering is there anything else other than a cage that i can install to dramatically improve my handling...(already have ST sway bar)...and after i finish me and my friend are putting bilsteins and prokits on his firebird...mmm suspension weekend.

Cliff notes...anything improtant when putting in AGX and GC, sorry my search isnt working today...seriously

What spring rates are you looking at? Remember ,you want to match the spring to the shock,so little people do that anymore.

AGX isnt that great of a shock yet people run +400 spring rates and "slam" their cars.

Have you thought about a rollcage or rollbar setup? that will signifigantly tighten up the chassis.

Well yah im not going to "slam" my car because i just want good suspension...right now i have 13"s and sportlines and i feel its low...I do want a rollbar/cage but i want my interior, all mint and complete...

Have you installed poly bushings? Those do help with the "tightness" as well.

sorry ryan, but shock settings on the agx arent super noticeable...

the hardest isnt super stiff.. when i had them on my ef, i just rode with them on 4 (i think ef are only 4 way adjustable, others are 8) and then for long trips i used 1..

I think setting it to 4 with gc will be a lot smoother than mine on 1 when i was running those BOMZ coilovers
