Same here. I have S-Techs and changed my OEM shocks to KYB's and I have no complaints on the rebound for them. I think they're fine.

I have Koni's and I can rip around corners like crazy. I have trouble getting through a song on the CD player.

I have TRD springs with KYB's and I have no complaints and no problems with CD's. Frankly, I wouldn't want the suspension any more firm. I also have the ST sway bars with the back set on the softer setting.

GR2's non-adjustable. I don't believe KYB makes the AGX's for our car.

He's correct on this. They didn't make Adjustables for our generation. |

No problems with my set up. Here's some advice though, make sure that all your rubber proctectors are facing and positioned the correct way, as well as the top mounts on both your front and rears. Also, if the "clunking" is coming from the rear it could be your swaybars? It's better that you just replace those if you swap out your stock strut. Chances are it's old and it's better to replace them with new parts. |

If you are looking to go 2" or lower there is a guy in south Florida that shortens sruts with shortens shocks. You can get a 2" drop and have a stock ride The price is anywhere from $300-$600 it depends on shipping& parts.
PM me if you want a number for this guy(steven wright)??? for coil over only! This post has been edited by Punch: Jun 15, 2004 - 10:29 PM |
