Thread: Suspension Advise

What Ben said is true also. I have lost one inch of travel in the front. The rear is negated because I also have Motivational Engineering Rear Shock mounts which do not exist anymore but I got one of the last set (just like my Hyperco for B14s).

But you will lose an inch of travel with the KYB and Road Magnet setup. If I would do anything again, I would go with custom shortened Koni's and Road Magnets OR Tein SS setup for coilovers.

My roadmagnets are on oem struts. (I was poor at the time and was tired of having an off road sentra) The ride isn't too bad and even on stock struts the handling difference is night and day. If I was track racing this car, I would have spent the coin on agxs, but for a daily there good enough for me. If the ride is too rough, you're too old.

Do your suspension ONCE and forget about it. You simply cannot go wrong with Konis/GC setup or Konis and spring of your choice for what you want to do. I would prefer the G.C. because you can get any spring rate you desire. You won't have that flexibility with a spring. Good luck. Let us know what spring you choose.

thx. My budget it small at this time. So i am really trying to get a bang for the buck

Rm/agx

I did mine for performance/safety reasons, not for how it looks. I actually wish the drop was a .5 inch less on the RM's. Doesn't work so good in high snow w/such a low car I think my front spoiler is about to fall off from being used as a snow plow and my muffler is taking a beating too.

Im running H&R springs with shortend koni bump stops on KYB AGX set on 2 in the front and 4 at the rear .

car drives good , not to stiff not to .

i set to 4 F and 8 R like on the track or auto cross it is much stiffer and you can feel the suspension adjust faster when under load.


I have mixed feelings on Road magnets , i drove a car on them and did not feel much diffrence but stance was a bit lower

Thx Rodrigo. I am still shocked that AGX's are like 400+ a set. I am thinking again about RM with some KYB GR2's. It is simple enough for me.

Anyone go a pic of RM's i want to see the drop. Thanks

Vadim's blue smurf on page one?

:o sry i forgot that LOL

AGX's are pricey but you have to factor everything else in and how much other struts would cost.

Most will cost you 500-600. I believe I bought mine from this eBay auction for $430ish shipped.
