Road Race's website says that the AGX is not a good strut for the 2g Eclipse because the front shock length is too long if the car is lowered at all. Does anyone have any opinions on this?



You are not your job.

You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fu**ing post count.

From all the questions about AGX's on this board and others (DSMTalk), the best I can tell is that:

1. They are to long and tend to bottom out.

2. Its not unbearable

Take for what it is, I guess. Serveral people say they have no problem with AGX's, others hate them...

u can get H&R oE springs they only drop 1" front and Back,

or u could get coilovers and set them to what ever u want...

pm for a good deal on those h&R's

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.
