Just got sportlines and kyb agx's on

[hookedup240]

Well i finally got my shocks/struts and lowering springs on.  I am satisfied with the drop and there is still enough ground clearance as to where i can take a speed bump fine.

My friend said the springs still have to settle though how much more will they drop? A couple centimeters?

But overall i like it alot improves handling alot and it is also fun messing around with the adjustable agx's there is such a big difference going from the hardest setting to the softest.

I recomend this combo for anyone who wants about a 2 inch drop and adjustable shocks for  not to much money.

eibach springs are preset, pretty much all decent springs are. they will not settle.

Sorry but you are wrong on this one my friend got prokits on his accord and they settled about a half inch like 1 week after he had them put on so i guess they do settle.

[tnord]

i have prokits and they didn't settle at all......not one bit.....so maybe he didn't install them properly

EDIT: or his shocks went bad during that time

hookedup, how much did it cost for this combo, and where did u buy it, I am looking into buying the same exact combo.

BTW:I always heard that springs settle after a couple days or so, fact or fiction????who knows, one says fact, the other says fiction, I'm kinda thinking fact..... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'>

Well, here's my $0.02. My dad has a racecar. We adjust the rideheight several times a year. Every time we change the height the springs "settle". What really happens is the springs find a flat spot to sit. If the spring perch were better designed we wouldn't have this problem. If there is going to be any settling, it is not going to be because the spring itself is sitting lower, but because of some other factor (shocks that have gone bad sit lower). I have seen it a hundred times on a hundred different race cars-- never once was it caused by the spring getting used to the car sitting on them. The only time this will happen is if the steel is pushed past its elastic limit-- at which time you will need to replace the springs because they will be more useless than a Yugo is for towing.

hey man, Kevin here with the red 92'.. &nbsp;How's the wheel gap between front and rear? are they the same??

[hurleyboi514]

how do you like the shocks?! &nbsp;at hard and soft? &nbsp;im probably goin w/ them over the Teins b/c of the large price gap...

[hookedup240]

Kevin, the wheel well gap in the front is still a little big but the back looks great, i am still hoping the front settles a little more, but not sure if it will.
Overall it looks really good

240sxspeedracer1 the sportlines cost me 210 becasue i got them from a store in my town and the agx's were 360 i think from coximport

hurleyboi514-the shocks are good at hard they are very stiff and you feel everything very bouncy...at soft they feel a little better than my stock ones, i am not sure yet what i am going to keep the setting at i am still trying to figure it out
