The moment of truth...(suspension)
Ok. I am ready to do some damage to my bank account. I need better shocks, my Toks really don't do squat anymore.
So my two options/interests are:
1.) KYB AGX
2.) Motivational Engineering shortened struts
My main concern is bottoming out. I know the Motivationals most likely won't. What about the AGXs?
I need some feedback from anybody who has had experience with one and/or both since the price differential is significant. And yes, I've searched, and nobody really discusses how well AGX handles bigger bumps.
Thanks,
RL

never had Motivational Engineering, but the AGX are very performance oriented, with adjustable settings. I know next to nothing about ME, can someone post a link?

They apparently did the suspension for SCC Project 200SX.

Bottoming out really has more to do with the springs, not the struts. If you go too low on the springs, the struts will bottom out. Don't get me wrong, higher quality struts like AGXs will save you from bottoming sometimes, but not all the time. If you go any lower than a 1.7" drop, you will bottom out the struts often. Believe me I know this, I've had numerous suspension setups.
