#10684, "agx adjustables while being lowered?"


          

im pretty low but not sure exactly cause they are coil overs. maybe a couple inches. i just got my set of agx adjustable's in the mail today and of course it says in the paper work how they shoudl not be used more than a slight lowering and blah blah blah. any guess as to how they may hold up? also i am having issues with the coil overs. the threaded sleeve that went aroudn the base of the stock shock is now practically bonded to the damn shock. any clue how i could get that off of there? i tried plenty of wd40 all over it and then put the perches on the threads and tried hammering the thing off while the rod of the shock was facing the cement. no luck. my friend who works at weapon r suggested that i just grab ahold of the sleeve with both hands and slam the shock onto the groudn rod side down like a hammer and it should come off. but i dont know if that will do it becuase so much force has been chillin on them for months. and if i end up doing that and screwing the shock up and not getting the sleve off then i have no shocks that i can use hahaha. help.

my agx's have held up just fine for the past 4 months while being lowered 3+ inches with maxspeed coilovers.

Just use AGX in the back and konis or Illuminas in the front, the AGX for the back are a little shorter then stock, at least that is what i was told, for the front yes they are larger, but go with another brand

Exactly! I went through the whole AGX problem awhile ago. As he said above, just use the rears, but, in my opinion, send them ALL back if you haven't installed them yet. Run a complete set of Illuminas or Konis. Its better than going half assed!

first off... the perches on the AGX's are welded.... now I am dropped 2-3" on GC's and AGX's and I hate it.... the agx's are longer than stock... so up front, the ride is terrible... it either bottoms out on soft setting, or u set it to stiff and u have a crappy ride... so either way ur gonna feel everybump, but if u set them to stiff at least u aren't hurting the struts. as far as the back.... they are longer as well, it just doesn't make that big of a deal due to the length of travel the rear has. I plan on replacing mine with Tokicko's when I get a chance. Koni's are the best, but I believe u have to have a special GC slevees for them for them, that and they are very costly.
