Also curious to know what the most popular spring/strut combos are. Obviously the AGXs but paired with what springs? I'm running Intrax w/OEM shocks but not for too much longer.

Please list any other combos. The poll function only allows for 5 options and I know I missed a few combos.

 

I've got an "Other", Intrax w/ AGX.

 

I'm on Eibach/Konis...

 

How do you like your Konis? Did you try AGX? You are one of the few people here with Konis. I have been looking for someone that can give me their experiences with their Koni yellows (adjustables).

How was the install and how much trouble do you have adjusting it? Also, can you compare it's performance to the AGX by any chance?

Thanks.

 

Most popular sprint AGX or Sprint Koni. If you want to keep that nice drop I go with sprint in a minute. I am happy with my sprint look alike setup.

 

Ummm Do i have to get struts/shocks to lower my car.. can i get eibach springs by themselves with stock shocks?

And are coilovers same as springs?

Thanx

 

B&G springs with AGX's. There both red and I like the color match!




All kidding aside, great spring/strut combo!

 

Same here.

 

You can use lowering springs on stock struts, but you'll wear them out pretty quickly trying to make them keep up with the higher spring rate.

Coilovers are a spring with a threaded sleeve that allows you to adjust them up and down.

 

Apex/AGX

 

yes i agree with this plus i have heard good things bout this combo

 

I hear that the B&G isn't good for the 5-spds however. Seems to be quite unanimous that KYB AGX is the best for struts however.

That is why I was thinking about getting the Eibach Pro kit for springs, for my 1995 5-spd SE.

 

The Konis aren't bad...I've got them on the lowest setting right now (zero) to get the most comfortable ride and they're mounted on all 4 corners. I had the front ones up two notches for a while and the ride was pretty stiff. Shook my kidneys alot. I haven't even adjusted the rear shocks at all yet. The Eibachs are much more stiffer than the stock SE springs but they give you that nice drop and the go-kart feel. My butt is used to it now.

Unfortunately they're aren't many modded Maxes in Vancouver and I only know of two 4th gens so far that are modded. The rest of the modded Maxes are in the Seattle area. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to ride in someone else's car to form an opinion but a couple of my work buddies thought my combo was soft to their tastes. Go figure!

 

Anyone with progress springs with kyb's?

I think i'm gonna get some sprints with kyb's

but i also was told about springs with koni's

ahh.. which one would last long and give a nice drop?

 

I will be running Maxspeed/AGX. I think there are a few other people on the board w/ that combo. I'll keep you posted with PMs

 

I'm a near-stock-ride sucker. My H&R/AGX combo is absolutely fantastic. I have AGXs with 15'' 96 SE wheels + Stock springs, and that ride doesn't compare to my H&R/AGX combo.

It even seems like even thought the car is lowered, the H&Rs give a better ride (smooth and stable), thus proving that SprintMax's past claim, "it will improve your ride" is correct.

The wheel gap is very bearable now. I think it's the best compromise if you aren't autocrossing everyday.
