Default ITR suspension? should I swithc?

My current suspension setup is KYB AGX's with Ground Control Springs. I also have an ITR rear sway bar. I was thinking about switching my RLCA to the OEM ITR's. I was originally going to just buy some AGX's for an ITR, but I don't think they make them (not sure didn't look real hard). So my other choice is to use OEM shocks. If I do that, I might as well use the OEM shocks all the way around.

This will then leave me with Ground Controls/OEM ITR shocks/OEM ITR RLCA.

is this worth it just to have ITR RLCA? or should I keep my current setup? TIA.

sorry if it's alot to read.

I say keep the AGX's. They have stiffer valving. The rebound on the OEM ITR's isn't that great. I feel floaty sometimes going over crests and undulations in pavement. All other times, I love them.

Besides, I don't think the ITR shocks could handle the GC's...for more than a week.

True dat! The spring rates of the stock ITR is 246 lb/in in the front and 140 - 246 lb/in. I'm sure the GC have a higher rate than that and ITR shocks probably could not handle the load for too long. I would just stick with the AGX.

Unless you are going with Tein's, why change them out to stock R shocks. The AGX's are fine. In fact, I'd say they are better than the R shocks because they are adjustable.

Your choice, but I don't think you should waste the money on a set of LCA's.

only gain would be stornger LCA's but you would lose your stiffer shocks
now if you need new shocks NEWAYS I would go ahead and do it but if not stay with what U have
