Lowering my car, will these work?
Thursday, May 31, 2007 6:09 PM
Hey guys i wanna lower my car. The AGX's are pretty pricey and i dont have a job right now, so i wanted to see if I could get away with buying these and then purchasing the tenzo springs? Someone please let me know about this I want to order everything by the end of next week.

For about $80 more you can get the agx's. You can't put lowering springs on those struts.

The HPs are OEM replacements, and would likely be very short-lived. Even the AGXs that you can't afford are ill-suited to a 1.8" drop, and would be a bit iffy.

if you want the tenzo r springs and you want to do your suspension right then you need either tokico dspecs or koni yellows

the suspension is not something you want to cheap out on.

I want to do around a 2 inch drop with my cav. I already bought the agx's so what springs would best suit my ride for a proper lowering job?

Sportlines, Road Magnets, or even the Tenzo springs are going to get the job done in that general height range. The problem is that "around 2 inch drop", "agx's", and "proper lowering job" can't all go together in the same sentence. Without either better struts, or a more conservative drop, you are almost guaranteed to have problems down the road.

Of those 3 mentioned, I would go with Sportlines, Eibach is most proven I think. I have the sportliens on my car and it's just flat out slammed... I may end up going to something a little less dropped (H&R or Prokit). My sportlines probably only have about 500 miles on them, so they may be up for sale soon.
