Do you mean new stock springs or old ones?

old ones

I think it would be a pretty good idea. The increased damping force will be able to better handle the heavier(than stock) wheel/tire combo. Wheel/tire weight does have an affect on ride. It has to do with unsprung weight. I have thought about a similar set-up for next winter instead of running my Tein SS coilovers.

couldnt u add the Motivational rear shock mounts to the Tein SS Coilovers ? to give u that lil more travel?

You can use the M.E. drop-spring style rear upper mounts with the Tein SS kit, or you could but the Tein upper mounts like I did.

AGX won't ride better than OEM, but they offer better control. Stock springs and AGX was almost as stiff as 300/200 springs and AGX.

I didn't realize how flacid stock struts were until I drove the AGXs & stock springs through a bumpy turn on my daily commute.

You gotta love the use of the term 'flaccid.'

YOU might like the term "flaccid", I would only want use it in conjuction with pasta.

sethwas · May 6th, 2003, 05:45 PM

Gross...Now I have to think of the term flaccid every time I eat spaghetti. Yes, I'd love another helping of the limp penis. Thank you.

Seth, that was more than I wanted to read.

sethwas · May 6th, 2003, 11:54 PM

Hmm,
Been getting alot of flack lately (maybe its the whoring) so I'll just keep quiet except for tech/help stuff. The exception is of course in case I really can't resist.

P.S. Unless peoples terse comments to me are in sarcasm. But since they are not followed by parenthesis or a smily, it just seems tense.

bahearn · May 7th, 2003, 11:36 AM

Move along you looky-loos. Nothing to see here.
