A friend of mine told me that using a RSB with the stock struts and Eibach springs makes the struts wear much more quickly. Is this true? I wanna put 20k more miles on my stock struts before I buy new ones and am hestitant on installing my RSB until I know the facts.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
The addition of a RSB itself is the key to the added stiffness of the chasis. I doesn't wear out the shocks (stock or mod) any quicker with/without it.
If anything were to wear out the shocks more, it would be the Eibach springs becuz they are compressing the shocks and making it work a lot harder than under the stock height.

 

RSB is not affecting the struts/springs. The RSB links up the chassis and reduces body roll.

 

That's exactly what I thought...thanks for confirming!

 

Cool...I am gonna install my RSB this weekend along with my FSTB. I cant wait to see how my car handles after.

I need some new struts. I want something stiffer than the tokicos and adjustable.

 

 

Quite a profound statement!

 

I must agree!

 

Your car is going to handle so much better! With FSTB/RSB with springs it is very nice indeed!

 

hehe... I was replying to your statement... I meant to say get Koni or KYB

 

How are KYB's? I've heard all bad things about KYB...like they're as soft as stock. I want a set of Koni yellow's!

 

those must be the KYB GR2... those are like OEM replacements. KYB AGX are adjustable

 

Are the KYB AGX as firm as Koni's? How many adjustments are there on the KYB's?

 

I have a set on order.... the rear struts are 8-way adjustable and the front struts are 4-way adjustable.

 

From where? How much? If they're similar to Koni's, I might be interested. Do you know how they compare?

 

$400 from Cattman.... I really can't compare the two... but from what I hear KYB AGX are very good struts.

 

Thanks for u'r help and all the info!

 

you are welcome

 

I just set up a new thread. I'm sure I'll get more input...and possibly for u 2.
