Called up Cattman yesterday and ordered a set... I have no idea when I will get them though. They have to be modified to fir the 5th gen and I will probably also get the modified raised upper strut mounts....

 

Coilovers next?

 

i have eibachs sitting under my feet right now.... coilovers maybe next summer.... maybe after boost?

 

Blah! Sell them and do it right the first time.

Coilovers! Coilovers! Coilovers!

 

i got them really cheap brand new... for now they will be ok....

 

UMD-

I was under the impression that the AGX would be a bolt on application when they were released for the 00-01s. Is this not true? What needs to be modified? Cost?

Thanks for the info...I have been looking forward to going with the AGX since I found out about them. I plan on going with my stock springs, I just want to be able to dial in a little stiffer ride.

 

Sell them, make a little money, get coilovers. Hehehe I have it all planned out for you already.

 

these are actually for the 4th gen. Cattman is modifying these to fit the 5th gen also. I think the bolt pattern is slightly different and the upper strut mounts are different. They are going for $380 + $20 for the modifications. If you are sticking with the stock springs, you can simply use the 4th gen upper strut mounts....

 

will you buy them? only $250

 

The check is in the mail.


Need to have the correct bolt pattern? To my knowledge, the only major difference is the strut rod (between 4th gen and 5th gen struts), which is why we need to modify the strut mounts.

 

If I call Cattman, will they know this and be able to help? Also, do they have an network of mechanics that will install their products? I would like to find someone local that can do the work.

Thanks again!

 

cattman is specifically selling them both for the 4th and 5th gen. If you call up and order, you tell them that they are for a 5th gen and they should do the modifications. After that, it should just be a straight suspension install...

 

Normal lowering springs are ghey. Dang Nauman sell those, buy coilovers........boost?

 

GC + stock strut = ghey .... when you ordering these?

 

Yeah its real ghey. when i have my friend with a dealers license call them up and order them. Just being lazy right now. I need new motor mounts, mine are on their way out b/c of drag racing. I think with the motor mounts and the struts i should drop down in the 14.6's easily. hehe ran 3 14.7's last night.

 

cool

where do you guys get all this time to go to the track and stuff? Seems like some people live at the track...

 

ehh, I dont go every week, just when the weather is nice. Plus i dont have a full time job like you, i go to school during the day and head up to the track at night. I am sure when i get a full time job i wont have time either.

 

Nice run! Still slow though.

Are you getting the PR/Cattman mounts?

 

yeah i know i am slow. dont race me

That is what i am going to try and get. Waiting to see how much of a discount I can get.

 

Ok folks....

I am getting my progress springs any day now (I hope) will these shocks be a good set up with the progress springs? I know I am going to hear ...Get GC's...but all I have to say to that is Hell No! There is nothing worse than having a 25 grand car that rides like a 5 grand hooptie!

From what I understand these shocks are adjustable. Is this really critical for someone like my self. I am just looking for a good shock that can rebound a little better than the stockers. When I hit an expansion joint in the freeway it is a scary moment!

 

Yes.

... but that hooptie can out hang you anyday.

 

Keving and Nauman.
It's Friday and I'm going home.
That means you know what.
i expect my money soon punks

 

\

 

ditto

 

You guys freakin crack me up!!! So Nauman, what was the total for springs and struts?? Maybe the exhaust will have to wait and I'll get the drop going next....hmmmm...I can't decide!!

 

struts will be like $400 plus I don't know how much for the upper strut mounts....


springs were cheap

 

coilovers

 

UMD-

One more question - I would like to do the AGX but retain stock springs...you mentioned earlier in the post to go with the 4th Gen strut mounts. My question - will staying with stocks springs cause any problems? I don't want to replace my springs because I don't want to lower the car (I love big wheel well gaps ).

Thanks again.

 

No I think Kev and Nauman is doing this

Csause you get some more power for your car

 

Really???

Do you have any more cheap springs!!??

 

I doubt there would be any problems.... The stock springs should work perfectly fine with the KYBs... You can confirm all of this by e-mailing Cattman. Brian is a cool guy and really helpful.


hahaha.... I wish... but you can get springs at good prices from www.shox.com . Get a quote and be sure to ask for the maxima.org discount. They will hook you up
