8G AGX sits higher??

[meepers]

Anyone else experience this? swap over to AGX for the 3g Eclipse, and my car sits about 1/2-3/4" higher all the way around? does anyone know if the lower perches are welded up higher then on the galant?

[8ggalant]

its not that...how old were yer shocks...if they were blown are starting to go your car was already sitting lower than it was supposed to...everyone i kno (w/ older shocks) had this happen to them...now if the comparison was made w/ 2 NEW sets of shocks 1 oem and one kyb...that would be an easier way to judge this

[COgalant]

It's because your stock shocks were partly worn so they sag a little bit. Now that you have put on brand new performance shocks, it back to its original height.

i instaled my agx's about a month ago. prior to them ihad stock shocks with the aggressive progress drop. my car rose about 3/4 inch and has settled back down 1/4 inch so overall i lost about a 1/2 inch of drop all around. but factor in handling and the no more bottoming out, its worth it.

I just installed my kyb agx struts today the car def. sits higher then it was. I know that some of the reason is because the stocks were starting to go already, I didn't cut the bump stops either, if I was will that help it drop at all? I don't think it would but i figured I would ask.

ya that happenes with all shocks, they sit higher at the begining, but if you give them a little time they will drop to what they are supposed to be.

yeah, my AGXs took about a month to break in, but i was on coilovers back then, so it was a little bit more harsh of a drop

Cutting the bump stops has nothing to do with height, you are supposed to cut them so that your suspension has more travel before you bottom out the struts/shocks.

Yes, more than likely your car will raise 1/2" or so.

I know... better than starting a new one n ppl pointing me to search heheheh

[RedGalant2k1]

Standard struts/shocks don't affect a vehicles ride height. The only strut/shock I've ever seen to affect ride height is air powered struts/shocks.

how come must galants shocks in the rear are blown. you dont see it on other similar cars like galants. i see galants all around my area that looks like they have sandbags in the trunk. that white galant i was driving for a short time was lower than my car in the rear on a stock suspention

[The F.B.I]

anyone have this prob with the GR-2 brand from KYB? or does all new shocks and struts make your car sit higher till broken in?
