Wherever I look it says the Ground controls can be lowered to 2 inches. Now i want to know if i can even lower then 2 if i wanted.. Also how is this setup with the agx's, i can get them for $379 with either, konis, kyb agx, or kyb. < im sure most of you can too. However my main concern is lowering the car, i want to be able to go lower then 2 inches, even to where its tucking the tires. Thanks.

you can do it... but don't expect the agx to last more that 10 000 miles before they blow

What about the other brands I listed, will they last longer? And how does the car handle with this setup. Im also going to start going to drift events. I wont be driving it lower than 2 inches on a daily basis, just nice to know I can have it even lower when I want. Why do they say "0-2" inches then?
Thanks

Going lower than 2" without a short-stroke damper will not work. Even Konis with stiff valving from hell will still bottom out and die.

There aren't any off the shelf short-stroke dampers for the 240SX in the US. Your options are to buy an inexpensive "full coilover" like the D2s or Tein Basic, or rethink the whole "I want my car to look like the suspension is broken" thing.

you can have shortened konis, but the cost will add up, might as well buy a full system...
GC = $400
koni that are custom shortened = I'm guessing at least $650-700 since OTS konis go for 550+... add that up you might as well get a good full system like SPL or HE or whatever.

Well im looking at the Tein basic dampers now.. Anyone have experiece with these? And what are these D2s?? And where can i find them and how do they compare to the teins?
Thanks

in my opinion custom air bags would be a better choice/option/wateva in this case

how much is it to rebuild/replace the shocks on the TIEN full coilover systems? do they sell replacements ?

Still looking for input on the "d2" coilover , where can i read about it/order and how do they compare to the tein basic dampers? I am getting into Auto X and will also start going to local drift events.
Thanks
