Hey Gagan,

I have to go to school now, but I'm going to email you soon.

Thanks for the email, Gagan, I've replied.

PS: I think that site is supposed to be: http://www.4subarusuzukikiaparts.com/


www.p-s-t.com sells the AGX for $389 and you will be very happy with their performance.
How do those AGX feel?

One thing I hated about my WRX suspension was going over bumps. I have to go over dozens of bumps daily, and my car felt like it was going to fall apart. Even the slightest bump would register as a 9.9 on the richter scale.


UPDATE: ooo they offer FREE UPS shipping in the US. Free is good.



Also, do I get charged any tax, since they're in NJ?

Are these the ones you guys were talking about? Instead of spending $150+shipping+tax on stock ones, I'd rather spend $389 shipped and no tax.

Let's get some reviews out for the KYB gas shocks.

at their lowest settings, they will ride better, slightly stiffer than stock RS struts. but they have the ability of being turned up to something stiffer if you want. On stock springs, and low stiffness settings you will have great balance, and a smooth ride.

Now, you say that your current setup is really stiff? Maybe you have an STi setup from japan? I'm thinking there may not be much wrong with your setup though, if we hook up for the audio install later this week, i'll ride in your car and see how it is.

Hm.

I'm still trying to decide on whether to go with the stocks @ $150 or the KYBs.

What I really want to know if the stock springs @ 150 are brand spanking new. I don't want no used part. ;-)

I have AGX's w/ Ground Control Coilovers on my '95 L. Works great! Really stiff, very competetive, and I can fiddle with the settings to get the car to understeer or oversteer if I like

Ill be coming down to MPJ sometime soon if you want to take a ride

Heyyas Kostamojen,

What is MPJ?

I've been learning more towards the stock suspension.
It's a shame. A long time ago I actually threw my damn struts away. Had I kept them, I could've saved a lot of money now.

Sev,

can't do any audio this weekend, just letting you know.

Don't get anything just yet, i want to see how your car rides, and see if they struts are really the issue.

at $150, everything will be used on that stock setup. Springs DON'T go bad like that. it's the struts that do.

Roger that, Gagan.

If I do decide to get it from 4subarusuzukikiaparts.com, I was going to check if they've got an extra radiator as well.
A rock hit my car's air condenser (located on the radiator?) so I no longer have A/C capability. I was going to check if that place had any of these spare parts as well.

MPJ is on Hayward.

Sev,

You don't need a radiator, just the AC condensor. it goes in front of the radiator, but isn't a part of it.

You don't say? That makes it a little cheaper (I think).
