Need a new suspension


Well this spring I plan on getting a new suspension for my car. The struts/shocks i have now are shot to hell and squeak and bounce like hell. Not to mention the fugly wheel gap when I have my 17s on, and I want a little better handling.

I am thinking of getting kyb agx's with either sportlines or sprint springs. Of the pictures I have seen, they both seem to give a similar drop and get rid of the wheel gap pretty well. Not to mention it should handle much better.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Those of you that have this setup could you please give me some inputs on pros/cons about it?

I am sure someone will suggest coilovers, but I don't want any, so don't bother lol.

Thanks in advance.

I ran KYB AGX's w/ Sprint springs on my 1G TSi FWD. They lowered the car funny, it sat higher in the front. I didn't personally like the setup. The adjustability of the AGX's is nice, but the problem is that they blow out so easily when on stiff settings.

2 of my close friends run the AGX's with Sportlines on 1G FWD turbo cars. They sit low and even, and ride pretty well. I'd go with Eibach for springs.

Hey thanks for the input. Do you know if I would need a camber kit for the rear? I thought I did, but not sure if its totally necessary.

If I do keep my car (want something more reliable lol), I'm gonna go with the agx and sportline setup. I think it will complement my ST rear sway bar well.
