I recently picked up 3 KYB AGX shocks/struts, and 4 Sprint springs from a local junkyard for a really good price. I was planning on waiting to save up for some Eibach's and Ilummina's since I want to get started in autoX soon, but I just couldn't pass up the deal. I was wondering what I should do with them though. So far I've come up with the following options.....

-sell the set seperatly on eBay and use the money for new shocks and struts
-put the fronts on to check the condition of them and then decide whether or not to buy a fourth (driver side rear) shock
-sell the springs and get some Eibach's
-ride around w/ everything I have but w/ the stock shock and a sprint spring on the driver side rear, until i can get the fourth shock
-ride around w/ just the fronts in until i get the fourth shock and then drop the back

and my neighbors own an auto care shop so alignments aren't going to be expensive for me.

 

I don't know how well those Sprints are going to treat you for AutoX. They're pretty harsh.

 

sprints are too stiff and too low to be effective for autocross, IMO. When you lower the car that much you create bad control arm angles and bump steer. Plus you'll be bouncing around and will lose traction.

Hold off for the Eibachs for performance driving. Sprint springs are just for looks.

 

i think i might be able to trade someone for the eibachs. what should i do for struts, since i only have 3 used agx's.

 

Illuminas.

10 chars.

 

precisely...

 

yeah, so i should just get rid of the AGX's or what?

 

That's an affirmative.

 

damn, i got bored and put the fronts on last night.

 

what junkyard in town did you find a 4th gen with that stuff on it?

 

What's the point of asking if you're not going to take our advice?

 

i got bored. i'm going to get the illuminas in light of the advice instead of settling for what's on the car. and i wanted to see how they worked on the car before i just got rid of them.

and i found them on a local pick-a-part junkyard. they charged me the price of stock suspension.
