I am looking for more drop than the Pro-Kit gives, but I don't want a racing/stiff feel too too much.
Here is what I have decided on:
SHOCKS:
AGXs ($470) and
D-Specs($520).
SPRINGS:
Sprint or
Megan Racing (both $190).
The AGXs are cheaper but am not sure if I could run such a low drop with the springs wanted on them and how long they would last?!
Any experiences shared from you guys would be great.
Hey got your IM, and I am not sure off hand, never had anything besides the TEIN setup, I have heard many good things about the d-specs, and then there are always Konis.
their cheaper by 50 bucks, is it really worth it to cheap out at that point and risk your warranty? i mean your already spending atleast 660
Having not actually had them, but just going by the spring rates and amount of drop, I have a feeling the Megan springs are probably not what you're looking for. They have a very high spring rate and probably are going to ride a lot rougher than you're looking for, even if well-matched with a good shock. And on that note, they may also lower more than either shock is supposed to go (I believe they lower around 2" and I know the AGXs aren't suggested for that, don't know about the Tokicos. Don't really know anything about the Sprint springs at all.
Honestly, I don't know if you're too likely to get a feel that isn't a "racing/stiff feel" if you go lower than the Pro-Kit goes. But having not deal much with suspensions, I could be wrong. I do think though you may need to reconsider your spring choices. Perhaps the Sportline springs? Just throwing that out there - again, lower is probably going to equal stiffer and more racing oriented, not to mention harder on shocks.
it looks like Pro-Kit, Tein S-Techs or Road Magnets.
Just want to make sure this setup last a couple of year on these road up here.
i've been running a pro-kit drop on stock suspension for 45k+ miles. and ur all gonna say. "thats stupid" "ur dumb." but the ride is nice. no extra bounce what so ever.
