my kyb agx's are old and shot car is handleing pretty sloppy. so my question is what should i replace them with i liked the agx's alot just dont know if i want to spend that much to replace them with the same thing right now. how do the GR-2s handle compared to the agx's. or what would you recommend for some less expensive performance shocks/struts. used agx's are always a possiblity if they are in good condition. also should i replacing the strut mount and boot from my old agx's or will they be ok with the new struts?thanks

 

with illuminas... duhhhh dont get the gr2 they suck

 

How many miles did your AGX's last?

 

k-sport coilovers

 

GR-2's are basically valved the same as the AGX's set on 2/4.
They are a firm strut and will handle well at the cost of some ride comfort.

 

I still would like to know how many miles you got out of your AGX's.

 

illuminas or coilvoers

 

so will i need to replace the strut mounts and boot.? it was almost 4 years im guna guess around 50,000miles

 

I was hoping that these would carry a longer longevity...than 50,000 miles considering my stockers lasted 140000+ miles...

 

out of my agx's i had 40,000 before the rears blew

 

i know shocks will blow eventually... by then, i would go with ksports

 

KSport or D2

 

Go with Coilovers, they cost more, but worth it.

 

Love the sig quote.....Grup bu on D2s 800 shipped FTW

 

thanks. it came to me when I saw how slanted my wheel was . . . its probably the source of all my suspension problems

 

If you bought them new, then they should be able to be warranted. Then you would spend a lot less money than the other suggestions. (As long as you were happy with them in the beginning.)

 

believe me i would love coilovers but dont think theres anyway i can afford them right now. how would i go about finding out if they are under warranty. i wasnt the one to put them on the car but have all reciets is this possible?

 

Do you have the actual reciepts for the struts?

 

yes i believe i do...have to double check but i should.

 

If you do have the reciept, and are able to go back to the place of the original purchase, you should be able to get replacements. (If they are indeed bad!) KYB will only warrnty struts that have definately failed. For example, if they determine that only 2 of the 4 have failed you would have to spend the money for the 2 that weren't defective. You would really want to make sure. If they are leaking, it should automatically be warranted. You just need to make sure of how bad they are to begin with.

 

alright well it turns out i dont have the reciept but i do have a kyb warrenty paper i dont know if that helps. but if not i would really like to know the differance handling and recemendation of illuminas GR-2's or used AGX's(about 7k miles)
