Okay so I have heard everything under the sun aboot AGX's on GC8's, and I am fixen to slap them on the WRX wagon but as far as opinions go I geuss people like them....But I have also heard of them blowing in certian scinarios <spell check< ie too low of ride heights. So can I get some info on qaulity, how people are liking them on GDA's?

P.S. I know they don't really "make" them for this perticular body but I have heard people using them.

P.P.S I also know they need camber bolts and zip ties.

P.P.P.S <is there even a such thing as P.P.S?

Okay ~B

 

yes

Ive got them on my wagon. I like them, i personally think theyre a better value than the Tein Wagon coilovers. With H&R springs, there a lot lower than i would want but the front bumper has the same ground clearence as my moms 93 Accord with a front lip. The rear is lower beacuse of the spring perch design on the shock. I have had no complaints about the ride. Some people dont even notice that its lowered. Performs alot better than stock on the street and track.

 

One question I have about the GC8 AGX on the New Age WRX is the shock valving (maybe I should do a search?). Since the GC8s are a few hundred pounds lighter, how does that affect the effective compression/damping of the shocks on a WRX?

Will the AGX be statically compressed a lot more from the get-go?

 

Actually, the camber issue should be fine on the wagon:

Scenario 1:
WRX sedan with GC8 shocks. Boatloads of rear negative camber.

Scenario 2:
WRX wagon with Whiteline springs and stock shocks. -1.7 deg of rear camber.

Scenario 3:
WRX wagon with WRX sedan JIC FLT-A2's set to the same ride height as Scenario 2. No rear negative camber at all. In fact, it could've been slightly positive, but I never measured it. Nothing a $10 set of camber bolts couldn't fix.

So, putting GD8 parts on a wagon or GC8 decreases the amount of negative camber and vice versa. My next plan is to get V5 shocks for my wagon next season when my stock shocks die.

 

Thanks for all the great responses guys, is anyone running AGX's on a GD8 with Ground Controls? As this is the set up I will be running....pretty funny, but I have heard of people blowing stock shocks when running GC's too low, well I have had mine on for 20,000 with probably the lowest wagon and yet still my stock shocks are great. Only reason I want the AGX's is to be able to adjust dampning, and get a little stiffer ride.

Keep the info rolling guys...
