#10679, "H&R Springs w/ KYB AGX"


          

Anyone know if this combination for suspension is bad? Right now that is what I have in my car. Whenever I go over a bump a bit too fast, it really feels hard. (Like BANG) Some people have told me it is because the KYB AGX shock length is too long, and the bang is the shock hitting the bump stop. Should I switch to a different spring so it sits to a higher ride height?

Right now the H&R Springs lower 1.7" front and 1.5" back. I was thinking of getting Eibach Springs, but the ones I can get are for the AWD, which lowers 1.4" and 1.3"

Also, can I run AWD Springs? I'll just be a little higher than normal no?

I have been down this road before..NO you cant use the AWD prokit. Why? got me but you cant....I have the prokit and also get the "BANG" but I would guess not as often as you. Only on some good size holes. did you get an alignment yet? because after I got mine the ride was 100x better. Where you at maybe you can ride in someones eclipse with a prokit or the H&R with illuminus?

I almost forgot did you cut the bump stops in half?

Ya, I did.. And I also got the alignment.. I mean it's not BAD, but feels bad when I hit those damn pot holes on unfamiliar roads.

Hmm, ok I'll stay away from the prokits. I've heard different from other ppl tho, they say we can use them just not the other way around.
