Thread: Suspension Advise

OK i have been reading Shawn B's suspension page for the pass hour. I am still undecided on which combo to go with.

Any pics with your combo would help me please. I am looking for a good drop but not to low great for Autox and good DD. Thanks Please Help me deiced

I have KYB AGX's with Hypercoil springs.

Picture taken about a week ago. (Sorry the wheel is turned out!)


This picture below was right after I put the suspension together.

LOL. I am picking up a B14 very soon. how is the ride quality with your setup?

You can't get Hypercoils easily anymore.

KYB with Road Magnets and call it a day.

Keep in mind I'm using taller tires, 60's.

I keep my shocks in the middle stiffness. It's not too bad. Prothane motor mounts made a more noticeable difference, aka vibrations.

With the AGX's you can change the quality of the ride. It ranges fairly greatly to be honest. You can put the shocks on OEM settings or greatly increase them as well.

I am currently using 2 Front and 7 Rear because of the horrible understeer B14's have and the lack of sway bars on my current vehicle. I actually just changed the settings to the numbers listed above after driving for years with numbers that are meant for a B13. Night and day difference in the handling characteristics.

I enjoy the car, it can be harsh on a cold, winter day but a total bag of tits (fun) in the corners.

thanks guys for your input

After you've seen the pics, are you looking for something even lower?
If so, you've got to go to a shortened strut body to get the car lower without sacrificing suspension travel. That means custom shortened strut bodies (with Koni dampers) or a "coilover" like Progress or similar.

i loved the CG coilovers i had on my old B14, it was a little bouncy on the highway

gc/agx's-ride height adjustment and great on 1f/1r settings..almost like a cadillac
