going from stock to kyb agx's.....

im just wondering if the bouncyness goes away completely, im getting these in a month and just wantd to know how much better they are than stock, even though i know being lowered on stock struts is pretty rough.


Moms & Dads talk to your kids,before its too late,tell them to say no to aluminum wings.

The difference is night and day if you have them turned up all the way.
The difference is not very noticeable if you have them turned down all the way.

I love my H&R's and AGX's. Its a very firm ride. It can get a little bouncy over a succession of bumps (like a bridge's joints).

I currently have my AGX's at 2 in the front and 4 in the rear. You may find that to be a little firm. If so, try 1 in the front and 2 in the rear.

I just installed my AGX's yesterday and with my H&R's it is a definite improvement. I learned the hard way and just had the springs on the stock struts. They lasted about 20,000miles, but wow is all I can say about the AGX's.


03 fire. Yeah's it's an ECO.

Your car is bouncy because your stock struts/shocks aren't and can't hold the drop that you gave it. The cylinders on them are made to absorb so much, the stock struts/shocks were made to only support stock springs...nothing more.

So to answer your question, yes the bouncyness will go away because your AGXs will support the drop properly, they were made for that.

It will elminate the bounce... to a degree. Remember you are lowered and a lowered car is still going to ride a little rough compared to stock.

Although comparing lowered with stock struts to lowered with a strut that is valved for the drop.... Night and Day

Agreed, when your lowered you will still feel the road more and have bounce to it but it should be smooth sailing when your driving down a flat straight road.
