Thread: Strut Options

Ok so my struts need replacing heres the 3 that i know of

KYB AGX i need the front sway bar, end links, and control arms for it to work on my car and the price comes to 1200 minimum without customs

The GR-2 probably isnt the best bet for my lowered car and i dont want another crappy ride after putting money into struts

The other option is Bilstein from the GXP, but where do i get them and are they really worth the money? or is the AGX setup better to go with?

any other struts i can use? I know the CompG struts but i cant find them anywhere and dont want to have to be replacing them shortly again.
Thanks for any input

so is the agx a better setup then the bilstein after i have it all done. I just figure doing that setup and then spending 600 on a set rather then 1000+ for bilsteins again if i ever needed to replace them.

Got the AGX's installed on my car, be aware there are only (4) adjustable setting on these. After a couple of months of being on the car you will not be able to tell a difference with these (4) settings, no matter what setting you set it at, they all feel the same. Little after year of being on the car, the shocks have settled in to their softest setting even though it is set to the stiffest. They now feel like they are a little stiffer then stock OEM's and I would of much preferred a stiffer all around shock. I would not have purchased the KYB's if I knew they were going to settle in like this, very disappointed. Not sure what I would go to next, but the KYB AGX's are just too soft now. Not sure if that helps, but good luck!

Thanks for the input guys, this is all good to know. GR2 wouldnt even be that bad because i only drive the car in the summer and for 300 bucks i could just replace them every summer lol. But i just dont want the ride to be like it is now. Im on B&G springs and with the stock struts it isnt terrible but i dont like it

Found out that the strut assembly in 97-03 was the same and then 04-05 they changed it, but from 06-08 they went back to the original. So i guess i can just pick up the AGX for the 500 bucks!

Hey Anthony. That is correct. The 04' - 05' cars have direct acting
endlinks that attach to the strut directly instead of to the control arm.
You can swap out the control arms for the older style to use the other
struts available as there's really not much available for choice in that
04' - 05' style.
