Ok guys this issue has been thought over by myself for a while. I have the eibach sportline(1.7 front, 2.3 rear) springs in with Stock struts in my 2000 cav 4dr, and its time for new struts. I would really like to get the dpecs but it would cost me 751 dollars Canadian to get them shipped to my place, the AGX's are 630 dollars. I dont know which to choose from??? i dont race on a track but the stock struts are terrible, the rear end bounces all over the place when i hit a big road bump. My friend put agx's in the front on a non lowered cavy and said they were a night and day difference from the stockers. Please give me some advice, and testimonials what wut setups and struts you guys have on your lowered cavaliers/sunfires.
If you are just looking for a stable quality long term replacement i would go with the D-spec's. I have heard the agx can run into some issues when dropped over 1.5 inches over time. But if you dont have the $ obviously they are worlds better then the stock setup which is very unsafe, you should find a replacement ASAP.
i was in the same boat u are about 2 years ago. i was dropped with sportlines on stock struts. bouncy as all hell, but even with my fat ass driving the car after a year only ONE strut blew out. when i did my struts i went with d-specs. i have one regret, and its not doing strut mounts at the same time... but i LOVE the d-specs. AGX's only warranty up to a 1.5" drop. its really up to you. you can chance it with the KYB's and you may never run into an issue. they are a very good upgrade over stock, BUT if you DO run into an issue with them blowing out prematurely you will get no help from KYB. i vote D-specs for that reason, spend the money and do it up right. i would think about doing strut mounts at the same time as well, at least check em out.
hope that helps

D-Spec IMO. I've had them for 3 years now and not a problem.
Factory strut mounts suck.
D-spec There is a reason the AGX's are not waratied for that drop.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
as everyone said get the dspecs. the agxs will hold out for a bit but i bet over time they will blow since they are not designed to handle that much of a drop.
