2693, Comparison pics of shocks
Posted by juan, Jun-06-01 04:14 AM

Nice pic from the RRE site that shows Koni Yellow, Tokico Illumina and AGX shock bodies side by side (along with what I think is a ShokTech coil over)



Note how much longer the red AGX body is. If you have lowered your car, these shocks are going to have bottoming problems because there is a lot less shock travel left.

Mike W recommends the Koni's or Illumina's for lowered cars. AGXs are good for stock height cars.

Does KYB have a shock that will work on a lowered 95 eclipse?

I've got the AGX on my car with stock springs, they are great.

I think the AGX should be fine if you do a mild drop (1 inch) any more than that and you could then run into problems.

What kind of coilover kit is that on the far left next to the koni yellows?!

Juan said its probably a ShockTech coilover. They are probably real racing coilovers which RRE sells for around $700 or so...

Cars and haven't had too many problems. Stan has said his are fine - Someone else just did a drop with H&R springs although I don't know how much of a drop - maybe I will try to use my coilovers with the AGX - and see how that goes - Not sure yet - thanks for the pic though...
