Spring and strut advice
Saturday, September 03, 2005 9:10 PM
I have a 2001 z24 Currently with cheap coil overs and factory struts, after admitting to myself I cheaped out and did it wrong I read the suspension faq. Right now I have them adjusted all the way up and cant drive any where without them clunking like they are bottoming out. What Is that? I want to change out to a good lowering spring and decent struts. I was thinking about Eibachs but I'm not sure which set, the pro-kit or sportlines. The roads around here aren't the best and I drive the car regularly, would the sportlines be too low for an almost daily driver? Also would the KYB gr-2 struts work ok with these springs? Are they any stiffer than stock? I don't care about too low for the warranty. Or is there a better setup for a similar price that would be better?

dont use the gr2. they are only a factory replacement. They probably wont last for long

Pro-kit + KYB AGX. KYB struts are only warrantied to a 1.5" drop. The pro-kit is a 1.4" drop, so you're good there. As Steve said, the GR2's are an OEM replacement and may not be part of the warranty, so go with the AGX's.

I'm running Tein S-techs and KYB AGXs and the ride is amazing! It dropped me 1.4 in/1.7 in.... On a setting of 4-8, I can take a 45 mph exit ramp at around 75 mph.... I can get you the store that I bought them from if you'd like....

Thanks for the good advice. I will either go with the Pro-kit or the Tein S-techs, I like that they lower the rear so it sits a bit more level. If you could let me know where you got them I would appreciate it.
