Forgot to ask, CK, how's the suspension? Has anything been replaced, and w/what?
At 119, 000, I know I had to start planning full suspension rebuild w/bushing/KYB's/springs etc...
Are the KYB AGX's still the "best" way to keep teeth and kidneys in place? If not, suggestions?
The first post lists everything I replaced on the front suspension, so that gives you a good idea of what I did. But, the rest is all stock. There are no squeaks and such. The struts do not leak. Would they need replaced? I suppose in time. They have been on the car for 130K almost, so I mean they probably need replaced. If I had kept the ca, yeah I would go thru and replace them all. It would surely firm up the ride again and such! I can go thru the records tomorrow and figure out what has been replaced.
If you wanted to run factory springs and look for a replacement strut, I would use the KYB GR2's.
If you plan on using something like H&R springs, I would do the KYB AGX's. The AGX is regarded a mediocre performer.
The best strut/spring setup would be the Koni and H&R springs or Ground Control coilover springs. You would need Koni 1G AWD fronts and Koni 2G AWD rears. The fronts are inserts that will require you to gut the stock struts and put them in. That's what I was planning to do. I sold my new Koni's here when I decided I was selling the car.
That's my opinion. You could ask in the General Discussions forum and you may hear other opinions. I hope this helps!
