I put Eibach's on a while ago, now I have 34K on my 01 SE and the Tokiko's don't seem to hold very well anymore. Has anyone done the KYB AGX from Cattman? I understand he does a customized one for the 2001. I like the idea of the adjustment, that way I'm not commited to any particular firmnes right off the bat. Would appreciate anyone's comments and assesments of these shocks or others I might consider.

 

They are great shocks. Just make sure that you don't overtighten the rear top nut or it will squeak like crazy.

 

hey i have em on my car now w/ progress, juss like asu, and you cant go wrong w/ em....another thing, i checked your profile and you live in Ca, mind if i ask where? i ask cuz once i get this job im after, imma be moving up so ill be selling my kyb-agxs...

 

It's not that hard to modify them for a 5thgen.. All you have to do is shave the bottom holes for the bolts and use 4thgen upper strut mounts..

I have them with Ground Controls.. I gotta tell ya, I don't bottom out as much compared to when I had Eibachs and stock struts.

I thought 5th gen Eibach rear springs don't sit correctly on the rear KYBs... The rear shocks are actually the 4th gen model unmodified.

 

So what you're saying is that I should verify this w/Cattman first?

 

I think so... but a few members here have had problems with Eibachs and the Cattman AGX..... that's what I am going on

 

I have that exact setup on my 2000 Max and YES the Eibach's don't fit right on the back....but I have had them that way for 6 months and have not had any problems. The ring on the spring is a little too small for the bottom plate on the strut. It looks a little funny but handles just fine. I have moded out almost the entire suspension and it works great with no problems. By the way the car really bites on to the street when you turn............Ya baby!

 

I assume you have the AGX's? When I originally got the Eibachs, they shipped the wrong springs, that were not small enough on the bottom (the spring gets smaller at the end) Then I got the right ones, so it works great. BTW, what tires are you running. IT's time for me to get tires on the stock 17x7's

 

I am running Dunlop 235/40ZR18 on Koing Tantrum 18 X 8.5. I needed to extra room for the 300ZX brake mod. (that works very nice also)

 

Yeah, I was thinking of wheels by the time I needed tires, but I don't want to spend the dough, so I'll need to go w/whatever fits on the 7x17

 

hey sighere, check your PMs

 

Is that the nut on top of the strut tower that is accessible with the hood up?? Thanks.
