Best '96 G20 semi-stock suspension?cathandler 03-31-2001, 06:15 PM My '96 (standard model) suspension seems to be running out of gas and I was wondering what the best non-adjustable shock would be for the stock ride height. I read about using Bilstein's P10 Primera solution but apparently it's vaporware wrt using it on the G20. I'm not looking to spend an arm and a leg, either. Would the KYB GR-2 be the best solution for this application? Thanks in advance... jburnham 04-20-2001, 02:09 PM I got the AGXs for my '91 and will be running them with the stock springs. I think they were ~$450. How much less are the non-adjustables? Nismoboy1 04-20-2001, 02:44 PM I think the GR-2's are a direct OEM replacement shock, I think :confused: correct me if I'm wrong. Check www.tirerack.com they have the GR-2's there for about $250.They also have the AGX's there for around $400. The AGX's are adjustable from Street(soft) to Race(hard). Both shocks should work fine with stock springs or aftermarket lowering springs, but no more than a 1.5 inch drop for the AGX's, they perform their best in between their. You also might check with www.groupbuycenter.com they have a group buy their ending 4/25/01. The AGX's for the P10's are $370 shipped in the "continental u.s." plus they're dealing with www.coximport.com which is giving it a "limited" lifetime warranty, whatever that means, you should probably call them lol so good luck, let us know how it turns out. cathandler 04-26-2001, 12:37 PM Got in on the group AGX buy (thanks for the heads-up!) - they shipped same day by FedEx and should arrive Monday or Tuesday. Any advice on what setting I should start with? My wife put really numb tires on (Michelin MXV4 Plus - yuck.) Nismoboy1 04-26-2001, 12:54 PM No problem, you got yourself some really good shox, especially for the money. Not 100% positive but from what I've read that on setting 1 the AGX's have about 15% less dampening then stock. It's just a matter of preference. I'd start with 1 all around and work your way up on the stiffness until you get a ride that your comfortable with in terms of ride quality and performance. You probably want the rears a little stiffer to reduce some of that factory understeer. Say 1f/2r and up from their. or whatever you want. good luck :) vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
