sup guys and gals, I just picked up the agx and pro-kit setup.
I was wondering what kind of alignment I needed for this setup. Will just a base one do ? any adjustments to camber ? I'm new to suspensions.
Also, the fronts came each with one spacer of 3/8" thickness. The backs didn't come with any. I searched on this matter yesterday and came up with

mabey its only a problem with the 00-05 mounts the strut doesn't have enought threads to allow the nut to go down all the way and there is play between the strut and mount that will eventually do serious damage to the mount, so a spacer will allow the nut to tighten down fully, however this spacer is not supplied, but any hardware store will have it, or ive heard ya can call kyb and they will hook you up
and

the agx's bolt right up in the rear but for the front you will need 4 washers on each strut to make up for the spacer that is made on to the original front strut nuts. that is it. and enjoy!
So on my 2004 sunfire, do I need to buy any more spacers ?

Umm... stock alignment specs. Don't know about the spacers.
Also, adjustment might not be needed unless the agx struts are slotted.

slotted ?

this thread makes my head hurt
Have an alignment done at a shop, tell them to do it to stock specs. That's all you need to know.
Yes you'll need washers, I don't know how many.
bump

No need to bump your thread. Besides the fact that it's not allowed on this site, your questions were answered. Get an alignment, AGX will send you the spacers you need if you contact them.
no need to reply to the thread then right ? you just bumped it
and no my questions weren't all answered, there is still no definitive answer on those washers, and I need to know, because I won't be there at the time of install, so I can't have them be missing something.
so mind your own business

Respond like that and noone will answer your questions.
This is a public forum and anyone can respond to you
how they wish. And yes your question was answered
to the best of their abilitly. Just get an alignment!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes and I can respond however I wish to someone who makes a useless comments.
How do you know that someone who knows the answer about the spacers still maybe hasn't see this thread yet ?
I will judge myself when my questions are answered and when I think there is no chance of someone else giving any more answers. If you have complaints, make them to a moderator, otherwise you are only polluting my thread.

your thread sucks. if your not doing the install then why worry about the washers? if a shop is doing it, they should know what the hell their doing (atleast a quality shop would). if they mess it up, its their fault not yours. if you still feel uncomfortable w/ the answer, then go buy more washers to be safe. there question answered!
that's funny. I actually searched for answers before posting, asked very precise questions, and people are bashing me because I'm not satisfied with the answers I got up until now.
Must you people bash others no matter what ?
15.958 @ 88.201 stock, still getting @!#$ty launches...
so when you ask a question, and someone answers you, "i dunno, maybe", you take that answer and are satisfied ? being uncertain is not an option when I ask for something about my car. I can't afford to have the struts blow or damage my car.
Also, I'm trying to help out a friend who will be doing the install. This will be his 2nd or 3rd suspension install since he is currently learning at his mechanics schools. So I want to give him the most information I can so it's easier for him and safer for me.

I answered your question ya near sighted fruit bat.
More than one person told you what to do with the alignment.
I said YES YOU NEED SPACERS. I also said CALL AGX THEY HAVE THE SPACERS YOU NEED. But I also see that you have the spacers, and those are the ones you need.
And YES you can expect people to get on your case if you are not willing to help your self and you want to be SPOON FED like a BABY. Got it?
stop polluting my thread. you're a nuisance. and don't resort to name-calling, it makes you look like a kid.
seriously, you have nothing good to add to the thread, since when did you become the one who decides when a thread is over or not ? I saw your comments in more than one thread. Fact is, nobody likes wannabe-mods.
so just stop posting. You don't see me posting when I have nothing good to say, so you're the one who's wasting the bandwidth.
15.958 @ 88.201 stock, still getting @!#$ty launches...
you have nothing good to say now, and you're posting, and no my name calling is just silly, not childish
I'm not a wannabe-mod, and I don't know where you got that.
And I've offered solutions to every one of your questions. Polluting? No, I'm responding. Why can't you read?

Yes, just contact AGX and ask them how many washers you should need for your make/model.

Im sorry, did i just watch the Jerry Springer show for like 5 minutes there?
Alignment needs to be done to stock specs. This can be done at any local Tire or repair shop of your chosing.
As for the washers. The best thing to do is to contact KYB either by email or telephone. Whichever you chose be patient, they might not be as forgiving as this board is. They have the washers you need for the install along with any information regaurding the install that you may need to know.
If you have anymore issues, just post politely without blowing up at people. If your questions were not awnsered entirely just say what else you want to know. Were not going to bite your head off, unless you bite ours first.
Steve, thanks for your input. I never blew anyone up, I simply stated that I didn't want anyone telling me when my "thread time" was up and that I preferred real answers.
The thread is now over as I'm going to have them installed today. Thanks to most who posted in this thread.

the fact is your being to ignorant to understand. he told you your answer. wheather it was to your liking or not, it still answered the questions fine and thats where this thread should of stopped. as for useless post, sure this probably is one but you know what, i support the org and i can post as much as i feel like. you on the other hand better stop bitching before you run out of your post this month
that's funny, I thought the org had thousands of members. Surely the ones that posted know everything and the thousand of others have no chance of having a better answer right ? Sure they check the suspension forum every hour, and if someone hasn't posted or found this post then he never will right ?
You simply have no authority over anyone's thread, so stop being trying to be the thread police

Yes you'll need washers, I don't know how many.
i dont understand what was so wrong about that answer that it didnt help you. you asked about an alignment and what kind. he told you to tell the shop to do it to stock specs. boom theres 1 of the 2 out of the way.
2nd you asked if you needed more spacers for your rear. boom answered again with yes you will need washers. now granted he doesnt know how many but instead of being a prick about it and saying well this isnt good enough, let me just bump this so i can get a better answer, why not call agx and ask them. you know know you need spacers in the rear. no one would know better than them since its their product. like you said theres thousands of members on here, which means thousands of different suspension set-ups. what you could of done is searched the members for your suspension set up and emailed them that you know you need spacers for the rear but not sure how many. how many did you use?
we cant help it your to lazy and need everything directly fed to you. you want us to wipe your ass for you too?
