When you installed the fronts did you let the shock go into the wishbone until it hit the brake line brackets like the stock shock or do you leave some room. I had both in only as far as the dimple in the shock and when driving the right front one slipped further into the wishbone all the way up to the brake line brackets. Info from anyone is helpful and I hope it doesn't sound like rambling.

 

I know exactly what you're talking about. I did my KYB's just a couple of weeks ago. Yes, the bottom of the shock is supposed to sit all the way down in the fork, until it stops on its own (when it contacts the bracket for the brake lines on the shock body). There is a little pointy thing on the shock body, that points down, on the bottom of the brake line brackets. This point is supposed to fit into the very small opening / split where it contacts the fork. Am I making any sense? If I had a scanner, I scan that page of my Helms. Anyway, you just want to make sure that point fits down into the opening / split at the top of the fork (facing the inside of the car). Then, torque it all down.

 

Listen to ndustryalGSR. He describes exactly.

 

Guys, I have the AGX's too. This gets me thinking. If we were able to sand off or move that bracket further up, and slide the shock lower we would effectively get more compression damping. This will lead to a better ride/handling with low ride heights! Ofcourse this is all within reason. What do you guys think? (If you lower it too much, you might start hitting the shock on the axle??)

 

ndustryalGSR, that makes perfect sense. Thanks that was exactly what I was thinking about. I suppose I will take them apart and fix it again.
