  • shocking

    so as I just posted I have the eibach springs now I am going to do the shocks... place called baxters has the gas-a-just for 127 each in front and 25 each rear, is this a good idea?

    I think I will do the shocks cause I did my springs about 7 months ago and never changed the shocks...It sounds kinda steep but they say they are good...KYB

      For that much you could get a set of KYB AGX. For not a whole lot more you could get Bilsteins.

          alright I did it... took me all day... know why? the bolt holding spring on shock was rusted on good... First I went to napa and got a bolt breaker.. wouldn't fit in to break it so I had to drill it out since I didn't need that shock any more... I put them on setting 8(stiffest).. man oh man my car is on rails since I already have eibach springs... wow! Now I am hooked. I bought a strut bar for the front...Question: I found a SS sway bar. Will that help my cornering? Oh and maybe new bushings for it?

            The 1-le 32mm sway bar, and YES GET Poly Bushings... yumm...

            Lol I just ordered my SS bar and a set of Energy Suspension poly bushings, had the same bushing in my old iroc, ugh they are great!

              AGX are not the same as the Gas-a-just which you first posted about. Gas-a-just are basically OEM replacements. But glad to see you went with the better shocks. Most people (including myself) run less in the front, like 3/5 or 4/6.

              A 1LE 32mm front bar works nicely with a 19mm rear and poly bushings and endlinks all around.

                </font>[/QUOTE]Ya does work great, um recomended for Autocross is a 32mm front and a 21mm rear. But kinda depends on your driving style.

                  yeah the fronts are AGX(adjustable) the rears are just the gas-a-just... friend of mine had the AGX all around on his stang. He said it was a little too bumpy, so I went with the AGX in front only. It works good

                    i have the eibach pro kit and the kyb agx's all around. I had my kybs on 8's but that was too stiff so i went with 4 up front and 6 in the back. i love it that way

                        i went kyb agx in the front and bilsteins in the back, also a 1le swaybar in the front, all in all, the car handles like a fighter jet.
