Re: Matching shocks for my springs..

if u match ur springs and struts good u shouldnt have any bouncing. but u will have a harsher ride with siffer springs. toe is another big contributer to bad tire wear. the tokico illumina only have 1 more click for adjustment than the agx but the illumina can handle a stiffer spring then the agx

Re: Re: Matching shocks for my springs..

Incorrect toe will eat tires a lot faster than negative camber. When the toe isn't right it's basically dragging the whole tire's surface unlike the inner edge when there is too much negative camber. This is why an alignment needs to be done after lowering, both toe & camber changes. Like I said before if only lowering a small amount negative camber isn't a severe issue like it is with 1.75" or more, still toe needs to be corrected.
