I just went and picked up my seven at the garage where it was getting its inspenction. When I got there to pick it up, the mechanic told me that I need a new front left strut b/c it is leaking pretty bad. The problem that I am running in to now, other that a shortage of cash, is that I also want to lower the car in the future and was wondering if there were specific struts that I sould get so that I dont blow them out when I drop the car b/c they are under constant pressure? I found a new set of Koni's for cheap on ebay, would those be good?

If they are specific for your car they should work well. Personally I am not too excited with the Illumina's on my car so I wouldn't go that route if I had a choice. Maybe find some used coilovers?
|
If you're just looking for something to get you by for a little while, just buy a pair of KYB GR2 from your local autoparts store. Don't buy just one the car will handle like ass, replace both fronts if you can. If you have a little more money then go for the AGX.
|
KYB AGX's are 129 a strut over on www.corksport.com if you can order online. It is pretty decent price. Or you can go ahead and get all 4 struts at the nopistons store for 445 bones.
I bought mine today, now all I have to do is find time to install them. |
I could do just the fronts for $250 a pair. I've got them at the dist. warehouse, so if you get a hold of me by 3pm PDT I can ship them today.
|
Oh and I have the non-adjustable KYB's at the warehouse I could $150 for the front pair on those https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

i had the G2R's on my last car, they sucked. the only reason why they were any better than stock is cause the stockers were worn out. wish i had gone to blues now. are the AGX's or illumina's the higher quality?
|
I like the illumina's, but I have sold a pretty good number of the AGX's and gotten great feedback.
Honestly any of the lower end shocks are just going to be slightly if at all better then the stockers. |

And yes, the Illuminas and AGX's are higher quality. They are adjustable. AGX's up to 4 positions, and the Illuminas are up to 5. I would rather spend the extra cash and get the adjustable stuff, rather than the non-adjustable. |
i agree. dont let this topic get lost!
|
Just thought I'd point out, the rear AGX's are 8-way adjustable.
|
I have Tokico blues and I love them. i have eibach springs and the car lowered about an inch. I love the look and the ride is fantastic. Handles like nobody's business.
|
Tockio are the way to go. I have them also with racing beat springs. They come ready to install and they handle like a dream. They are also pretty cheap.

I've had the AGX's on for a few years now with about a one inch drop and they're great. The GR2's are good stock replacements for stock ride height and the AGX's hold up well when the car is lowered too.
|
The AGX can be found for $400 a set from a number of places.
