I have just been reading around just to get some opinions on things about struts...


I know a decent amount about about cars but im not sure about this...

I am getting ready to replace the front struts with KYB AGX struts... And then the same thing in the rear...

Now, this is where I get confused... I lowered the car with the Eibach Sportline kit... How much will this effect my handling? I already know that I still need the LCA relocation kit and also the panhard relocation kit but that is all I have for right now is the springs and my struts...

 

the agx's are adjustable. So your question doesn't make much sense, since the struts will be variable to handling depending on how you adjust them.

edit: if you're asking how the lowering will affect the struts performance, then yea, you'll be limiting their travel from intended, You could splurge and get new strut mounts that are higher to allow more travel. Since it's adjustable, the lowering probably wont kill the struts like if you were putting gr2's in or such.

 

ok, now...


Are the KYB AGX a good choice? From what I have read, KYB is basicly just above stock replace ments...

 

You need an adjustable PHR, not a relocation kit. You don't exactly need the LCA relocation kit if you're only looking for handling. They are made so the car "hooks" from a stop.

KYB's are an alright choice, if you can afford it, Koni struts/shocks would be better. Another option would be Tokico, but I'm not sure how they compare to KYB.
