hey guys im thinking of getting a new suspension i been reading but i always end up with mixed ideas about each setup.. ok

1st question : Is the ride on s-tech springs and kyb gr2 shocks rough or confortable? (los angeles area)

2nd question : if i buy the springs first and put them on stock struts (for a short time) and then put them on kyb gr2' is there gonna be a problem by putting them on stock struts then putting them on performance struts or should i just put everything at the same time.

3rd question : is $350 a good price for both products?

 

Just a warning, GR2's will probably wear out quickly on those springs. It is recommended you run AGX or Illuminas. Might as well pay more now than pay twice, plus another $150 for installation later.

And for information about aftermarket springs on stock shocks, read the top of the MaximaShocks page.

 

from what i read alot of ppl read kyb gr2's on different springs including stein

 

i like my GR-2s with my sprints no problems......TEINs are supposed to be nice ride....ur stock struts wont last very long with lowring springs.....

 

yeah thats why im changing them like in 1 month till i get some cash. im just asking if there would be any problem when i install them on the gr2's after they been on the stock struts for a month. any one answer 3rd question ?? is $350 a fair price is it high ?

 

Installation usually runs about $125-200. So if you aren't going to be doing it yourself, you'll be paying for installation twice. Once for the spring install, and once for the shock install, when you could do both in one shot.

 

Because they're cheap and ignorant

They probably dont even know their struts are blown because they dont know what hitting the stop bumps feels like.

Get AGX's at the VERY least or Illuminas if you have to cash with Tein S Techs... believe me you wont regret it. You'll be very very pee'ed at your car when you install GR2's and blow them a few thousand miles later.

 

what makes adjustable for examle illuminas and agx's last longer then non adjustable shocks

 

Adjustable shocks can have the valving changed, a softer shock will blow alot quicker than a shock that is a bit stiffer and can handle the spring rate.
