Whats up guys,

I getting ready to install my pro-kit/kyb-agx set-up and I've got a question for those of you with the same set-up. Did you replace your strut mounts / boots / bumpstops when you installed this set-up? If so, which ones did you replace them with? Did you notice if the stock one's were sufficient? Was there any cutting involved?

I just trying to get an idea of what I can do now while I've got these parts off the car and whether they will need replacing. I appreciate any advice. Thanks

 

I've got the same setup on my 99 3.0. The only thing I did was to cut the top nub off the stock bump stop. I love the setup, no problems.

 

I think that's all my installer did too was to trim a little off the bump stop.

 

I did the exact install myself with the thread that 1stgencl posted up here, with pics and it went very smoothly. We made one mistake, and we didnt put the bumpstop on the first strut, so we had to take it off the car, compress and put it back on. Some tips:
1. Penetrating oil on all the bolts will help big time, save some ball busting.
2. Get at least one good friend, i had 2 and it went great.
3. Be cautious when compressing the springs, can be dangerous.
4. What ever you took off the stock set up, goes back on the new setup. IE, bump stops, dust guards and all nuts/washers.
Finally, leave a whole day set aside. I took us about 5-6 hrs, wit our mistake included, but i have heard some people takig upwards of 8-9, so leave plenty of time, and have a good hand degreaser ready. Good luck, pm me or 1stgencl in you need any help

 

i changed the upper bushigs to polys and the upper pad (coil spring isolator to poly) also the rear i had to install new oem bushings and new upper and lower pads. had to trim the front bumpstops also.

 

why did you guys trim your bump stops? does it make it sit lower or something?

 

I appreciate the input.
