thats what i was planning on doing, im thinking of going with coilovers in a couple months anyways. how many miles are on your car/shocks.

and when they do blow... cant you just keep riding on them anyway? except they just wont dampen anymore?

You need shocks that will handle that kind of drop. If you chose to ignore that, the company in which you buy your shocks from will void your warranty for having it slammed. For instance, KYB AGX's are not meant for cars dropped more than 1.75 inches.

yea dont drop it on stock shocks. theyll blow and ur ride will be the suck. if you know ur eventually gonna buy coilovers then just keep saving. dont spend money on a temporary drop.

i had neuspeed sport springs with kyb gr2 shocks and that was just a big waste of money, ride quality was pretty bad. i recently replaced that setup with neuspeed race springs and kyb agx shocks and although the ride is MUCH better than my previous setup, i still want coilovers...d2's preferably. its just not quite stiff enough even with race springs which are supposed to be stiff as hell and my agx's set on 4f/8r.
all im sayin is...save ur money.

the ride is good with neuspeed race springs and the agx's but the sports and gr2's werent a real good combination. i just want a stiff ass ride thats why i would rather go with d2's. my friend has d2's on his 240sx and his shit is as stiff as mine but his is on the softest setting and my is on the stiffest..

DONT DO IT!! the ride quality is fucking horrible.. i wish i bought full coilovers to begin with..

AGX (400shipped) + Nuespeed Sport (160 shipped?) $560 + the Hassle of removing the stock top mounts.

Or

$600-$650 shipped for some Ksport Coilovers,

Its a no brainer, see if u can cancel ur order..

actualy, im on race springs with agx and there awsome. Ride quality is excellent.

Things is, dont do things half assed. honestly, take your dam time and save some money doing it right. Go all out or none at all.

Its like rubbing a pussy with your dikc and just barely inserting. What the Fukc !! is the point if you cant go all the way in ? and dont tell me because it feels good, because it wont feel as good as getting it all in. Same as your ride, wont feel as good unless you get the struts to go with it.

ur not dumb, just excited.. i did the same thing.. I spent $60 on used nuespeed sport springs, then spend $300 on Illumina 5 ways, now the back of my car is lower than the front. looks wierd.. the ksport are fully ajustable, dampening and ride hieght.. i learned the hard way.. AND i spend HOURS trying to correct it. its a nightmare..

I'll get into the suspension/braking/more weight reduction aspect of my car into detail once it's back in my hands. I'd forget about the Sustec coilovers if you're looking to track the car.

Well that sucks, seems like they stopped making the B6 coilovers. I only see the XS ones for $2,020. Well anyways, bad ass brand by any means.

fantastic. there is no return policy on the springs that i bought. i figure i'll just start saving up again for some coilovers and slap the springs on in the meantime... no sense in trying to sell them, right?
