I have AGX's & Sprints, now what do I need to install them?
 

My 97 GXE has about 86K on it. From what I've read i need to buy camber bolts and KYB dust boots. Where would I go about getting these? Also what else would I need for the install? Any other bolts/nuts, front strut mounts, coil sleeves or anything? I want to be preventative as possible and I want to try and keep it quiet too.
If you know where I can buy the parts I need, please let me know. I want to be able to install within the next 2 weeks. Thanks.

Can anyone help me out here, please?

Here go to this site, the guy who made this site is also in PA, I'm not sure how close he is to you...but he helped me put my springs and shocks in as well...

Here is a suspension parts list:

I also will be installing KYB/Sprints in a few weeks and am also wondering about parts to replace and if u need the camber bolts..
Alot of cars with Sprints do have them and some do not... What the deal is?:confused:

Thanks :D But where are those prices quoted from? And are those the cheapest prices for those parts? Will I need to go to a dealer? Will it be quiet with those parts or do I still need other parts?

well im no expert, but i was told to check your boots they are more than likely all rotted out. then i hear you should have the bearings changed out but to replace them with OEM, and kyb mounts if needed ..

I still don't know where to buy the parts. Anyone?

tirerack
 

buy your mounts and boots from tirerack or cattman performance
get your bearings if you need them from the nissan dealership
i dont know about camber..i am waiting for my set up as we speak and i only plan to be prepared to change out the bearings, and boots and mounts .. if needed ..my boots are shot and rotten so i know i will need them.. good luck and wish me luck too , im just as lost as the next person .. im going to try midas. go to there website and see if they have a shop near you. www.midas.com

i jus got kyb agx's with intrax springs- 1 coil on both front springs and IronLung on here did it for me. he jus used all the stock parts. im gonna get the dust boots and replace them soon tho, they were shreaded, but they still stay together and will work for the time being.

Wow, there's a whole bunch of us with shocks and springs in the garage I guess!

I have KYB GR2's and MaxSpeed springs - because I'm cheap.

Try www.jerryromenissan.com as they have excellent service and a 25% discount for the .org members. Make sure to ask for Ken in the parts department. You should get new nissan strut bearings and kyb dustboots as they're already pre-cut for lowering springs. Don't buy the KYB mounts from tirerack as they're not as good as the oem ones, and you might not even need new front struts mounts. You can however buy the rear strut bushings from tirerack that sell for like $4. I would also suggest the camber bolts for sprint springs as the springs will give you negative camber, more than you want.

Peace.

Are you saying that Jerry Rome Nissan sells the KYB boots? Or are you just saying for the OEM stuff to get it from there?

Re: tirerack
 

I just called Midas and the guy told me it would be $410 to install my MaxSpeed/GR2 combo!!! :eek:

Looks like I'll be buying a spring compressor ($10) and possibly air tools.

OEM stuff plus some Stillen products.

Ok...I have my camber bolts already and I'll be ordering KYB dustboots from Cattman monday.

So I need?:

2 front strut bearings (54325-5V000)
2 front spacer/seals (54329-39u00)
2 rear spacer/seals (55338-0M000)
4 front nuts (01223-00191)
2 rear nuts (01225-00072)

Are coil isolators spring seats or the urethane sleeves?

Do I have to have urethane sleeves to be able to install or is it just to keep it quiet? If I need them what is the part number and how many do I need?

Do I need to replace the spring seats?

I checked my front strut mounts and they seem to be in good condition and I only have 84K on them anyways. Is there anything that I listed that I don't really need to be able to install? Also is there anything that I missed that I will need.

Anybody know? Thanks :)
