I don't see as many $330 agx deals around all of a sudden. Maybe because AGX raised their prices by a huge step and now $330 is the wholesale price.

Our distributor tipped us off and we bought a bunch at the old price. Not sure if this is the lowest number out there, but what sets us apart is that we have dozens of sets of 1995-1999 AGXs for $355 on OUR shelf, totally under OUR control, ready to ship immediately. We're not dependent on anyone else, there's nothing to go wrong, you buy them from us and we ship them to you, simple as that, no room for BS.

Also a reminder that Cattman Performance is the only source of the unmatchable AGX for the 2000-2003 Maxima. We rebuild the lower front mounts to fit the newer series, and they work flawlessly on the gen5 Maxima -- no need to wait for KYB to get around to making an application, enjoy them now! These are also in stock for $435/set, ready to ship from our shelves.

Also pick up a set of the great KYB dustboot/bumpstop combinations for $50/set if purchased with struts. Cattman must be the best source for these because we sell a huge number by themselves ($60/set w/o struts). We'll also have our Progress Performance lowering springs back in stock later in the month, with a new application specifically for the 2000-2003 (though the 1995-99 series still goes with the 00-03 AGX). The Progress Springs and AGX struts are a fantastic performance combination and value, priced together at $500 for the 95-99 and $580 for the 00-03.

All these parts can be ordered via our order line, 800.759.9920, 8-5 MST, M-F. We're accepting backorders for the springs, and do not charge the CC until the product ships.

If you can get me AGX and a set of H&R's for $500, I will order them right now.

 

do prices include shipping? $405 for struts + bumpstops and dustboots shipped sounds reasonable

 

I would much rather go this route instead of getting GR2s. I have an 03 though, and I already have Maxspeed springs. Will the Maxspeeds still work or will I have to get 4th gen springs?

 

Are you supplying the 4th gen Strut mounts for all 5th gens in that price? If not how much extra would that cost?

 

How about a GD on the Cattman/Progress RSB for $89 shipped?

 

guys, go with cattman. I ordered mine thru him as soon as these were available and he does not give you any BS. honest guy, great businessman. He might be a few bucks higher, but that's definatly not worth having to d!ck around with some shady seller in a GD.

 

So are you saying the 4th gen AGXs are $330 shipped again?

How much are 5th gen modified AGXs?

 

 

The H&Rs are good performers, but because we don't think that they or the Eibachs perform any better than the Progress Performance springs we carry them because they are a much better value. Plus they drop the car the perfect amount for a lowering spring (in terms of the integrity of the car's suspension), 1.7" in front, 1.5" in the rear.

Unfortunately, we're backordered on the things and I don't expect to get more for about 10 days.

Fine...$355 for 4gen, but how much to outfit my 2k1? I'm looking for a GROUP DEAL here, not an advertisement of Cattman with $10 taken off

 

No, those prices do not include shipping. Its just too variable when shipping from Arizona to the rest of the country.

Brian C Catts
Cattman Performance

 

They might work, but the AGXs are basically 95-99 struts and the 95-99 springs fit the best. With the later series, it will be a matter of the bottom coil of the rear springs not seating properly until you get them installed and drive a few feet. Then, its a big KA-CHUNK, and they're in place as the bottom coil opens up and fits over the spring perch.

Brian

 

Sorry for not including that price in the original post, my oversight. The price for the Cattman-adapted 00-03 AGXs is $435. We charge just what it costs to modify these.

Brian C Catts

when will be the next sway bar deal im really looking into getting one?

 

I forgot to include the price (fixed now) and it is $435. Yes, this is the group deal forum, but since I typically have, or will have, the parts in stock, I don't see any point in making people **** around with the usual group deal trappings (money orders, publicly displaying lists of those who ordered, waiting until some sales threshold is reached, etc.). You call, you buy, we ship.

In this case, the retail price has, in effect, become a sale price due to a radical price increase by the manufacturer. Really wouldn't make much business sense to lower my prices at this point in time would it?

Let's consider a few things that work against this proposition...

- There's no deal out there that even approaches the value of the Progress bars for $110. You could sell ADDCO bars for $80 and the Progress would still be the better deal.

- My distributors and I are already selling well over a 100/month.

- And, these values exist despite the fact that there is no competition -- Cattman Performance sponsored development of this part and is the exclusive distributor (through us or those we distribute through). Point being, we enjoy presenting a good deal on a part we bring to the marketplace, but it would be rather foolish to compete against ourselves.

It wouldn't apply to everything we sell, but in the case of the Progress bar, you get a great deal, we make a reasonable profit, seems like the best of both worlds, what more can you expect than that?

Fact is, my distributors are banging on me to raise the price to $120, so perhaps it would be best to think of $110 as temporary.

Thanks for the insight Newbie. He lists a few prices on there, so just trying to clarify for everyone out there. Doesn't even apply to me since I have a 5th gen.

 

I was just showing the price he posted. I didn't mean anything against you.

 

Catt, how long did it take your company to recieve the AGX's you ordered? I am wondering because it took us a little over a month, but we do not usually sell AGX's that are not in stock already.

 

this is great deal folks without any of the BS, i got AGX's, progress springs and KYB Boots for 600 shipped to my house. I live in NY and got everything in under a week. Thank Cattman.


look below to see results, still cant wipe the grin of my face

 

Thanks for the deal, Brian. I ordered AGX's w/ dustboots yesterday.

 

Cattman,
I just ordered AGX's last week and they should be in soon. I currently am running 5th gen Eibach springs on stock struts. Will I run into any problems during the install because these are 4th gen "adapted" parts? What is the slight modification that you listed on your website for the 5th gen fronts to fit?

 

Can you get the price on JUST the KYB dust boots shipped USPS to Gloucester, Ontario, Canada, K1T 3S3

I need these asap for the right price

Thanks

LEMAR

 

cattman, how long will this deal run for? im looking to get suspension next, but i just dropped a chunk of change on a vb mod and i might have to spend a little more to get it to work right. ive just crawled out of the hole(credit card bill) and am looking to dive back in.

thanks

 

In some detail, the only thing you need to know about installing the the AGXs we sell for the 00-03 Maximas follows. The threaded end of the front strut rod that sticks up through the upper front mount (and is fastened with a nut there) is shorter on the 95-99 series and so is the length of the hole in the mount that it extends through.

I can't stretch the strut rod, so one of two things can be done. You can buy a pair of the mounts (just the one-piece part that bolts into the opening of the strut tower) or you can grind off the bottom .4" or 1 cm from the "neck" the end of the strut rod extends through, so that enough of it comes out the top to properly secure the retaining nut. We include an instruction sheet on the procedure. We're also stocking the Nissan mounts (take it from me, accept no substitutions) and you can buy them from the dealer too -- there are several different part #s from 95-99, but they all fit. I get the ones for a 98-99 SE with the idea that the rubber bushing materials may be stiffer.

Regarding your springs, the bottom coil on most 00+ springs is a wee bit small to fit over the rear spring perch. What seems to work is to install the springs even though they have not settled in the rear, let the weight of the car down, and if necessary drive a little ways, and the bottom coil will spread open far enough to settle over the spring perch. I know it sounds a little funky, but no one has ever told me it didn't work.

If buying new springs to go with the 00-03 AGX application (noting again I recommend the Progress springs) be sure to buy them for the 1995-1999 series. I assure you that there is no functional difference.

Depending on the warehouse they come out of, we usually get them in one day, 3-4 at the most. We're lucky to have a great supplier that is nearby, and of course it helps that we go through quite a few of these -- its not a matter of how many sets we order, but how many pallets of sets. When we hear they're out on the east coast, our distributors have plenty.

Only issue now is KYB's massive price increase at the end of April, over $30/set -- outrageous. When we're out of these cheap ones, our price will have to go up.

Brian C Catts
Cattman Performance

 

Sure, we sell just the boots. Don't know why, its really just a convenience item for the customers, but we sell these in huge #s, often by themselves. Price right now is $50 is sold with struts, $60 by themselves. We are planning a $5-10 price increase.

You'll have to contact my order line for a shipping quote, 800.759.9920, but it won't be bad since they are so light. We do not ship USPS except to our military customers with APO addresses (since UPS, etc., will not deliver to them). We insist on being able to track an order real time and USPS doesn't provide that capability.

Brian C Catts
Cattman Performance

 

I understand completely. I can't say when it will end because I'll sell another 25-30 sets at this price and couldn't say how long that will take, but they are moving out briskly.

Brian,
Thanks for the tips. It looks like I am going to have to take my car over to my buddies shop and use his grinder. As for the rears, I am a little concerned that there might be a safety issue with the AGX/Eibach (5th gen)setup. What happens if I lift a rear tire at the track? Will the spring become dislodgeded if weight is not applied down on the spring?

 

The three possibilities would be that a spring would fit normally over the AGX's rear spring perch (if using 95-99 springs of whatever brand), or it would settle tightly over the slightly oversize rear spring perch (if using 2000+ springs) or, at least a possibility, that the 2000+ springs didn't settle fully on it (I've got an email from an Eibach/AGX owner about this).

To be clear, I can make suggestions about how 2000+ rear springs can be made to fit the adapted AGX struts, but I cannot guarantee that they will fit and I strongly encourage using 1995-1999 springs with them.

I'm not sure if you're talking about using 2000+ Eibachs on these, but whether they fit normally or tightly, neither case would seem to increase the likelihood of the spring coming dislodged. More importantly however, is that I suspect that the spring is still under some compression at full strut extension, which makes what you're referring to impossible.

Brian C Catts

Looks like a nice setup. I am defenatly interested in getting KYB AGX's with the dustboots and progress springs as a package. How long will these prices last, I will be getting a paycheck on the 27th, can I pay you then? Also is there anything else you suggest doing while getting this job done? I have a FSTB and a RSB already. Do you sell mounts?
Thanks,
Dan

 

DAMN...I just spent $420 on some last week.....

Chris

 

Its a very popular combination. I don't drive on it daily because I run our new coilover suspension on my car (and I had the old coilover suspension on before that) but I've driven and ridden on the AGX/Progress spring suspension a few times and I think it handles and rides great.

I'm going to sell a couple dozen more sets at this price, but I couldn't predict whether or not they'll last till 27 June. That may be cutting it a bit close but there may be some left.

If you car has more than 50k miles you might want to replace the upper front mounts (just the part that bolts into the strut tower opening) because that rubber bushing gets sloppy over time. We carry those for $60 if purchased with struts and you can also get them from your dealer. Stick with the Nissan ones because I've had bad luck with others.

What else could you install at the same time? Looking at your signature, I'd say you need an intake unless you forgot to mention it. We've got some great underhood intakes if your summers aren't too hot, and if they are the Cattman CAI is the classic Place Racing design, the only one that positions the filter where the air is cool, clean and relatively dry.

Seeing you've put the work into your tranny, you might also want to consider our HD motor mounts to cut down on the wheel hop and enjoy corners more smoothly and confidently without the mass of the engine thrashing back and forth. Made by Place Racing, they are bullitproof and guaranteed basically forever.

Depending on the size of your paycheck, for an extra $700 beyond the $550 you were going to spend anyway, you can forego the springs and struts and get our new coilovers. I just put them on my car after getting back from overseas and they are incredibly sweet. The handling is dialed in much more precisely than the old coilovers I had on before. I was holding off on getting some new Nitto 555s (hey, I'm cheap and they're great while they last) until the suspension was installed and now I'll put them on and go nuts.

Just for the struts? Ow! Check with us first regarding value and choice of product the next time you're ready to make a performance investment.

Brian,
I am going to be running Eibach 5th gen springs all aroung. What are some of your suggestions for making them fit?

 

I think I will go with the progress/AGX/dustboot combo. Do you know how much it will be shipped to the boston area? Zip is 02474.
Thanks,
Dan
