suspension choices/questions

[perna00]

i'm going to lower my eclispe and have alot of choices/questions. i think i'm going to go with the agx shocks/struts but have to decide between the adjustable one or the fixed rate ones. the sales person said the fixed ones are about $100 less and have a nice setting for a lowered vehicle. i'm curious if the fixed settings are set well enough or if i should go with the adjustable type. also, i'm trying to decide on either coilovers or lowering springs. i'm starting to lean towards the lowering springs. if i decide to go that route, i have to decide between 1.5" drop or 2" drop. i was told i might have to get a chamber kit if i go with the 2" drop. any body have ideas/advice? thanks for any you can provide.

actually, i didnt know there were AGXs that has a fixed rate. i would suggest a soft set of lowering springs. the eibach pro-kit is pretty stiff. yes you will need a camber kit if you go below 1.5''

i can get a combo deal that included the fixed rate shocks/struts and eibach pro kit 1.5" drop for $435 shipped. that a pretty good deal?

[eclipsed4utoo]

yeah thats a good deal. where are you getting them from?

[perna00]

some place near cleveland ohio. i got the phone number if you want it.

[eclipsed4utoo]

nah i already got that combo, but i have the adjustable ones.

[perna00]

the adjustments really make that much of a difference or not really?

[eclipsed4utoo]

a little, i dont really change mine too much b/c i drive on the interstate alot. if i was going to the track, i would change the settings. its convienent if you need to change them. just a suggestion, if the roads are bad in your area, try to find a softer spring than the prokit. it can get pretty rough when you hit bumps in the road every 25 feet. also dont get springs that will drop the car more than 2''. the AGXs are not made to take the abuse of a 2'' drop

[perna00]

looks like i'm probably going to get the agx fixed shocks/struts and the eibach 1.4-1.6" kit unless someone else can convince me differently

i'd go w/ the tein Stech springs, and see what kind of deal you can get on those, they are 50$ cheaper than the pro kit and lower 1.7 front and 1.5 back, for a nice aggresssive look, thats what i'm saving for w/ a kyb agx adjustables

the fixed shocks from kyb are the GR2's

[eclipsed4utoo]

i thought those were the ones he was talkin about

[prelud-a-cris]

do the skunk2 coilovers fit a rs..... it says v6 but is their a diference

[perna00]

can't help you there. just check an ordering site and compare part #'s.

[drdisque]

they'll fit, they just might not lower the car as much since the RS is lighter.
