I changed the dust boots front and rear, I change the seal, and wrap the springs with some spiral wrap from radio shack.

After driving around all day everything is nice and quite.

The one problem I noticed is that the front sit a little higher than the back (I'm an auto)about a finger higher. After doing a little examination I notice that the bump stop is sitting right at the bottom of the strut, there is no room for the strut to rebound, everything is sitting on top of the bump stop. I plan on cutting the bump stops in the morning and see if the front will settle down.

 

i hope it works out good.. let us now what happens.

 

Which dust boots are you using?
i never cut down my oem bumpstops and she rides fine. But on heavy bumps the suspension does crash on me

wow that's an interesting combo. I have a pretty even drop on my car with the AGX and B&G, so it might be the Tok's. But also, let the springs settle...usually takes up to 2 weeks.

 

Well, I have the AGXs with the B&G springs and when I had the auto, the gaps were pretty close, although the back did tend to sit lower. When I converted to 5-speed, the front now sits even higher and it is ****ing me off. I do not want to cut them because if I do and I go to sell them, no one would buy them. I am looking into the Sprints, but I do not like that they really hinder spring travel and are very bad for Autocrossing. I am still looking for some good lower sitting springs....

 

Where did you get your B&G springs and how much? I was about to buy some for my AGX's that are in the mail.

 

Just finish taken everything back down and cutting the bump stops. The gap is about 2 1/2 fingers now and the ride feels alot better than before.(feels like my H&R's)

Ny96max- I bought nissan dust boots but these are made different from the ones I had before, the bump stop is actually attached to the top of dust boot as one peice.


Victim64- I bought the springs from Shox.com, I paid 182 shipped.
Let them know your apart of the org so you can get your discount.

i have b & g with agx's and my rear sits lower than the front (noticeably lower). i'm also a 5 spd. I plan to get sprints for the front in the spring.

 

Make sure you trim the rear bump stops as well or get the KYB boots for the rear. The B&G drop in the rear will cause you to ride on the bump stop if there not cut!!!

Trust me, your ride will change A LOT when you fix the rears.
