Exclamation Wow...just wow!

I just installed my AGX struts and put S Techs on them, for you guys that dont know the struts are in the front so im only half way done. Ive noticed the biggest change in handled ive ever felt! Theyre not like all bumpy and screwed up theyre just stiff enough for you to stick to the corners like an Audi TT. All i have to say is after im half way done it was well worth all the work and trouble to go along with it. Cant wait to get the shocks in!

I suggest getting lowering springs, gives the car a nice aggresive look.

Ageed, its a good thing that you bought shocks first. Go for Tein springs they only drop the car 1-1.5 inches.

Definetly a good setup.. I got the same exact setup. S-Techs and AGX's.. A lot better and definetly handles a hell of a lot better than before. Definetly keeps the car on the road and helps it stay there..

Well i prefered the s techs cuz they keep the tires absolutely glued to the ground... h techs are a lil softer and ride a lil higher... but roads here are acrually like 2nd worst in the nation... my 240 is fine...lol

Im glad to hear you guys are enjoying the suspension as much as I am. Now that im done with stage .5 its on to complete stage 1, which will consist of front 300zx break conversion and 5 lug conversion all the way around with some nice z32 wheels to keep me stuck to the corners like i should be. Ive got one question though and its been lurking in my mind ever since i started the upgrades...will the 16x8.5 300zx TT rear wheels fit my 95 240 after a 5 lug conversion?
