Sprints good with AGX?

I know the KYB AGX warranty is void after 1.5 inches, but those of you with sprint and AGX's, do you have any problems? Also, did any of you ever hear of someone blowing AGX's with sprints?

I recently did a Spring/AGX install for another orgy member. Nice spring/strut combo. Smooth ride for the most part, until the road gets rough. Nice drop, the rear sits a bit higher unless you cut one coil from the rear, then it sits perfectly level.

just about every member with sprints, is using AGX. I've only heard of maybbe 1 problem with the combo. And I love mine.

I was gonna run my sprints with AGX's but i decided against it (I dont have the money) i am going with the GR2's i have heard many people praise those for there low cost, they are not as good as the agx's but untill i get enough money for the JIC coilovers gr2's will have to do. brian

How much of a drop do you get (front and rear) from the Sprints?

gr2's are designed to be replacement stock struts. They weren't meant to handle an agressive drop like with sprints. Be carefull that you don't blow them with-in the first month, and then you'll be out of the money, and you'll have no struts.

I am probably the 1 and only person that has had an issue w/ the KYB AGX/Sprint combo. I was driving 55mph, hit a huge pothole and blew out the front right shock. I was a bit disappointed because of the customer support from KYB but the Sprint springs did lower the car slightly lower than the 1.5" warranty mark. All that aside, I would strongly!!! recommend this combo, the ride is a little stiff (but can be adjusted), the drop is perfect, and the car handles like it is "on rails," complements of Julia Roberts.

did your car get bouncy after you blew the shock? How did you tell yours was blown? Was it really noticable? Sorry for all the questions.

Save the headache...

Why not save yourself a lot of headaches and just get the Eibach Pro Kit and KYB AGX's. No issues and performance is superb.

Handling is kicking *** on my car now and I don't have to worry about many speed bumps and other NJ road crap.
