Getting ready to buy my suspension setup today. The will be lowered on 215/40/17 tires. This is my daily driver that occasionally sees racing on the weekends maybe once or twice a month. These are the two setups I am debating over

1. KYB AGX shocks and GC coilovers
or
2. Tokico Illumnina 5 way adjustables and Skunk2 coilovers.

What are your experiences with these and which would you recommend? The Tein's seems a little too expensive for what I need.

 

How does a 1.5 inch drop on 17's look on a 5th gen? Is there alot of wheel gap left? I was also thinking of getting the Tokico suspension kit that includes their 1.5 inch drop springs and Illuminas.

 

I have heard that both setups are good for what you are wanting to do with your car. I think that I have heard more praises towards the KYB AGX & GC combo.

 

GC + Koni yellow.

 

that's my 5th gen in white; lowered with prokit / agx combo. right around 1.4~1.5 drop. 2 fingers in rear, 1 in front.

GC+koni yellow is def a nice set up, but if your car is gonna be mostly daily driven then both setups you have listed are fine and will serve you happy.

i auto-x religiously and my agx/prokits are doin great.

do either one of the setups and get the neuspeed rear sway.

 

sweet ride. think im gonna go with the agx GC setup.

 

Anybody know where the best deals on GC are?

Hey hey i have AGX + Prokit too and i'm about to bring the car to a road race (Track event in Europe). What is your setup with the AGXs ? Currently mine are all on position '2'. I'd be interested to hear your feelings about them on the track

 

i have agx/eibach sportline combo and i love it. I have my shocks cranked all the way down to #4, thats the stiffest mine go on the 4th gen lude. The sportlines seem barely able to take what i give them on the street. I kinda want custom springs, but i like the ride of the sportlines.

I'm wondering how you guys can use the prokits to autocross with any success??

 

Well i havent tested the pro kits on a track yet but that's soon. I cannot take the sportlines because it's my daily driver, and pro kits are low enough - i'm already touching the ground on speed bumps.
I have a 4G as well, so AGXs have 4 positions as well.

 

for daily driving, i put on "1" all the way around as that's the purpose of the "daily driving" haha... i dont wanna feel everything on the road.

when i autox or go on a "canyon carving" i put em on all 4's (highest setting).

on a wet auto-x, SOMETIMES i put em on 3's.

i had a great fun trying out all different settings on a 24-hr auto-x event! i wish you have fun as well!
