Great first post!



You might as well just grab your ankles now.

So Thats A No ??

AGX's are direct replacement shocks. So if you were using unmodified gr-2's, then they should.

I don't know how your ground control setup is, if you are talking those gay coilover sleeves or what.

I don't think you could be any more vauge or annoying.

Please search, don't ask stupid questions, blah blah blah

Iirc AGX wont handle over a 2" drop. They will blow too.

Whoa there man, GC's are the ONE company NOT making crap sleeves. They use eibach custom springs wound specifically for them, and build specific sets depending on the end user's damper and application. They're all about racing and performance, not "ebay coilovers"... slow your roll on the flamage... Ground Control knows their shit.

HOWEVER....

OP:
1) stop shouting. All caps = shouting and will get you nothing but flamed.
2) you probably blew your GR-2s because they are OEM-grade replacements, no increase in performance, and certainly not intended to be used on a lowered car.
3) YES AGX will work on the GC's coils, that was probably the intention of the setup you're using. I'm running that combo myself after speaking with the guys at Ground Control for a while about my specific applications. BUT....
4) CALL THEM! They're great people, even hooked me up with replacement parts when i coned a support washer via a 4" pothole. But mostly call becuase you need to make sure your spring rate is going to be suitable for the AGX damper (additionally tehy can point you to what settings on the AGX work best for your given application).

Last, I should point out that if you intend to do some track time, or start learning to drift, there are other solutions now that might be more suitable. When I chose my suspension setup, there was no such thing as Megan Racing (who currently make the most affordable coilovers); before jumping into the AGX+GC setup, make sure you know where you and your car want to be in 2-4 years... also remember you have to do some modification of the spring perches on the AGXs (front I think? I forget, it's only req. on one end, either front or rear).

Any way you go, don't go with the cheapest route possible or you'll just have to spend more $ later. Save $ long term and think ahead... if you want more info on GC's, search "Ground Control" and "Yoshi", Drift Freaq and I have made several long posts describing the pro's and con's ... and for god sakes stop shouting.

[!Zar!]

Yoshi: I love you.

Lets get married.

WIN.

Everyone else: You fail at life.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ ditto except for the marriage point. Fucking biased JDM fanboys have got to learn that just because its Ground Control does not mean its crap. In fact Ground Control has won so many races on so many setups. I would not let the fact that Ground Control makes it and its a sleeve over be the deciding factor. Yes you will sag your Ground Control setup to slam it. Yes AGx's give out on hard use in a 2inch drop or lower situation. Can we say Koni short stroke race shocks? Yes Ground Controls makes sleeves to fit them.
All of this said if your not going super low and want to retain a decent ride with adjustability a GC/AGX setup can be pretty trick. You will improve your handling you will retain a adjustable from harsh to decent ride.
Now with all of that said there are some very affordable coilover setups. The high end of that being KTS and Stance.
Though if you have the GC's and like them just get AGX's when your ready to step to even more spirited driving you can either go the Koni route or look into other coilover options. Though please lets just stop the blathering ignorance that goess behind most of the Ground Control haters on this forum. assumptions. Most of them have never used Ground Control and talk completely out of ignorance to the product.
