so close to ordering...

heyas, just for my neuspeed sports and clear bumber lights in yesterday i'm dying to go ahead and order my shocks i just don't want to make a stupid mistake. my 99 3.0 has about 110k on it and i was just about to order some kyb agx's... just wondering if it would be wise seeing the milage on the car is up there? or would gr-2's for half the price be more suitable?

if you want to adjust between a sportier ride and a softer ride ... then go for the kyb AGX's

rims aside, i would just need the front camber kit to go and get the suspension done once? that washer trick would work with the neuspeed sport drop? 1.75 front, 1.5 rear.

AGX are the shit. I ride 3 front and rear. 4 beat my kidneys to death, I can't imagine any higher, unless I were at the track and needed my shit that stiff.

How is the stiffness on 3? I'm ordering agx's, but don't know what to initally set them to when I get them, I want a stiff, but stock feel. Don't wanna hurt my kidneys

2 is what they call stock. 3 is a little stiffer, 4 is god damn stiff 5-8, I have never tried, because I read that if you run them that stiff, you risk damaging them on normal streets. That kind of stiffness is for the track and that's it. But yeah 3 is perfect. Nice for tight turns and stuff like that.

If I remember correctly, 3 is 125% stiffer than 2 which is the same as stock.
