how is everyones GCs working out?
any regrets or things wrong?(sounds,performance,etc.)

I am planning on AGXs and GCs soon

Any tips on this install? I figure I might as well replace other suspension parts while im in there.

What about KYB AGX dustboots with GCs?

thanks

link not working =(
i will try when i get home form work too.

Will this setup be OK for extreme use such as autoXing?

I found this little article on the web:
http://www.trinituner.com/shop/coilover.htm

not sure if they are right or what.

thanks for your help!

sounds reasonable but i wouldn't try auto crossing on gc either. i have taken it for a spnn in the canyons eveything seems fine but then again i wasn't really willing to take it to the edge so i have no idea if they are right or wrong.

Your asking people for their opinions with GC's/AGX setting this is more of a personal preference if you ask me. Do you like stiff Med or soft? So play with your shocks until you find the perfect ride for yourself.

I am not really interested in the comfort settings: just the install, dustboots, and extreme use. I think the people from a few months ago that started this thread were, I just revived it to see how there installs went, noise level, etc.

So for autoX I should either go (cattman or JIC coilovers) or (spring / agx) setup, but not GC ?

yup
full coilover suspension cause you have to figure the intire piece was designed for adjustability.
