i am putting the GCs on the AGXs. i know i need to grind down the diamond shape to put the sleeve onto the strut. with that done it seems like there is a few inches between the top of the spring and the metal top hat. is it supposed to be like that? and are there any problems like noise and stuff??

 

Yes, that space will of course disappear when the weight of the car is lowered onto them.

 

i know, but what happens when i hit the bumps and the plate and spring seperate and come back together?? any noise?

 

You'd have to get airborn, or damn close to it for the top hat to lift off the spring. In that case, yes, I'm sure it would make a LOT of noise.

Hasn't happend to me in over a year of driving with them.

 

what else did u change when u did the install? how long did the instal take?

 

I installed GC's and AGX's. Took me about 4 hours. This was the 4th or 5th time I'd done a suspension install though.

First time I did it I planned on a entire weekend...although it didn't take nearly that long.

 

were u able to find dust boots? and also what bump stops did u use??

 

you will have noise..

 

Not as bad as yours

 

actually worse..




but i know how to fix mine.. i just need to find the items i need

 

hey jeff,
you need those rubber disks like i have..dont you?

 

yes

 

yes

 

go to a local suspension shop and ask for "rubber o rings" or "rubber disks" to fit above and below your coilover springs.....the shop that did my install gave them to me for free...so you might get lucky....

 

i been searching locally for them



i will find something

 

....hey jeff...send me one of your left over bulb sleeves.....so i can put it on my gauges....

 

i used all three..

 

Energy suspension sells the spring rubbers. look on their webpage and you'll find them there.
Should be able to order them from most race shops that sell springs and coilover parts.


Anybody know of any dust boots that'll fit under the 2.5" springs?
ruined a pair of Tokico struts in a few months because the sand ate the seals on it from not having dust boots in it.

 

i am looking for dust boots that fit in the GC coilover springs.
