Only half of the board. They are good shocks for the money.

WTF are you doing lowered 4 inches. Is your ***** that small?

 

i wasn't aware that ***** size was a direct coralation to how low your car is.

 

so it wasnt enough that the ground clearance on your vehicle was about 5.5 inches. you had to make it so small that you cant even get your foot under it.

IMO a 2 inch drop would have been much better. at least you can retin the everywhere driveability of your vehicle and look good at the same time.

Not a flame, just a thought.

 

im sure he knows that but its not your car and you don't drive it. i have my car close to 4 inch drop, and if you have a brain its not hard to get around unless you live on a dirt road or something.

really? ***** size is directly connected with several things. Just a few I can think of off the top of my head:

Post Count
Bandwidth
Car Cost

 

well personally i like the look of a lowered car being that mine is a foor door i have a longer wheel base and it takes more of a drop to make it low.if that doesnt make sense sorry because it makes sense to me. if you saw my car you might like it as low as it is and if you didnt i wouldnt give a **** i am just asking if these shocks that i picked out are good or not.so thanks for your opinion but it doesnt mean **** to me.

 

Does your car look like this with a 4-inch drop? BTW, that's a chop of my car; it's not really that low.



How does your car handle with a 4-inch drop?

 

agx are not great when lowered more then 2.25. you would have been better off with illuminas or yellows.

btw agx voids warranty after a 1.5 drop

 

thats my car with around a 4 inch drop. doesn't handle super super good that low, but when i want my car to handle its a jack and 15 minutes away.

Pardon me but all i see is a red X in a white square.

 

my car handles great i take backroads to work that are pretty windy "not sure thats spelt right" and i pretty much put my cars handling to test everyday on my way to work and its great. could i get illuminas or yellows for 280 though?

 

jdm ninja no my car doesnt look that low.jack it up 1.5-2 inches and that my car

 

I think this is 4" drop or more???

 

the AGX are good for the money but they wont last long with more then a 2in drop. the cylinders and construction is very very weak under high load. have fun relaceing them after a month with anything more then a 2- 2.25 drop.

 

I don't see the AGX's holding up to that much of a drop for a lengthy period of time.

So you just forget that the alignment is thrown to **** every time you alter the ride height, eh?

 

so, your answer is, no they aren't good for your application, and you might be replacing them soon

 

Not gonna last with that kind of drop. I hope you got a good price, cause they'll be toast in a few months.

 

my friend has had AGX with Skunk2 coilovers for about 2 years now with a 3-3.5 inch drop all around and they are working out fine, no leaks, no bouncing. They are very stiff and still feel great to this day... for AGX's

 

so what would you suggest to use? ive only got 300 bucks to blow on struts.

 

i'd suggest you raise the car to a ~2" drop.

 

Raise your car up to a sensable height or save up for something better. Koni yellow's or a "true" coilover setup.

 

sorry to jack the post...

but you guys are weak!


hehehe

no i relize that but every time i adjust my ride height there is NO noticable pulling or shaking or anything. i know this means that the alginmnet is still off, but the tires don't wear really bad, it doesn't pull, or shake, and since i do change the ride sometimes i don't see the point in getting an alignment, unless im going to a track or something.

and everyone always says "agx don't hold up good" and bla bla bla bla. well my car was that low for maybe 2 to 3 years. and my dampers are still holding up great.
