I want new shocks, what should I get?
« on: November 26, 2005, 03:35:20 AM »

got a 98 Avenger ES. As you know, those are low profile tires. I feel EVERY bump on the road. Now when I go over a big bump it feels like my rear end has lifted off the ground.

I want to NEVER EVER EVER feel a bump. What cost efective way can I achieve this?

Air ride if cost is not an issue

AGX's set on the lowest number are fairly soft...

Agx's arent too cost effective though. I'd also suggest Tokico Illuminas but even the Kyb Gr2 would be an improvement as im sure your struts and shocks have high mileage on them.

Sell your car.. buy an old caddie or an old chrysler..

your gonna feel the bumps REGARDLESS of what you do.. it's part of owning a sports coupe.

Or just ditch the low pro tires and get some 60 series sidewalls.......... You'll kill the handling  and look of the car, but you'll get what you want. I say live with it the way it is, but it sounds like you need to change your struts.


Illuminas with the lowest setting are still harsh
AGX's are mush at the lowest setting and you'll float over large bumps, then dip up and down like a buoy a few times with stock springs. They're great mid setting and stock suspension though.

GR2's are stock, if you want the stock feel back then grab a set.

What should these ASX shocks be cost wise. What should I save up?

are they hard to install? Im assuming this is something I shouldnt do myself. Ive NEVER EVER EVER done anything like that before?

thanks again.

AGX's run $75/$85 per strut plus shipping ....Install will take about two hours with a spring compressor ....
