Author Topic: Suspension setup - Got the coilovers, shocks now?  (Read 323 times)

Okay.  I got some ground control coilovers last week, they arrived monday, I'm not gonna put em on yet till I buy some shocks though.  I have a few Qs though..

1.  Right now I'm set at KYB AGXs because theyre adjustable and 350 shipped.. however, I don't really plan on taking it to the strip maybe more then once or twice a year so is the addition of adjustability really worth it for the 20-30 dollars more per shock?
2.  Should I get non adjustable shocks instead? Are they still worth it for their price (better then stock, that is) and how do they compare to the adjustables.. like are they the same at their stiffest setting or in between?

Thanks for your help guys.

3.  Are the KYB GR-2s any good?  I can get them for about 125 less then the AGX

The adj struts aren't just for the strip.  If you raise or lower your coilovers, it's going to affect how the car rides.  Then you can adjust the settings on the struts to accomodate for the change.  Or you can simply adjust them to whatever your driving conditions are.  That is, if you're cruisin through the hills and want to take the corners hard, you can stiffen up your ride, or if you're in town, you can loosen it up for the rail road tracks, pot holls, etc.  I don't know anything about the GR-2s but with any no adj gas shock, if you get them installed and you don't like the stiffness or lack of it, you're stuck with it basicly.

With Coil overs the adjustability will be a big factor.  Because like Hybrid sid whenever you change them the ride will change so the need to change the shock will arise.
