I owned one for all of three month. I driven a few. The motor and the jblood knockoff are the only things i like about that car. period end of story Anyone who wants to tell me that Kyb agx shocks are good real car quality I absoultely out of thier mind. I have used those numerous times on numerous cars and they were shot within a year of simple autocross use and these cars were correctly set up. Corners were cut on this car and his asking price of $6000 is simple not justified, even for $3000 its not justified. ---

I actually have them on my AE86 with swift springs and I’ve never had or heard any complaints. (Other than Tokico HTS’s are better and they’re out of production. I originally tired to order those and everywhere I called said they were out of stock). First off T3 coilovers are quality. If you think otherwise you REALLY don’t know corollas. They’re designed to work with AGXs. A AE111 20v swap costs $5500 from Drift Office. So everyone don’t listen to Ron, this car is a good deal and it’s not a piece of shit with corners cut in the build. ---

Both my EG’s had agx’s. Both cars I had to swap out the agxs after one season or less of driving. Quality shock/struts are shock that can be rebuilt. Not just simply ohhh its blown let me email KYB about this and have them hem and haw and bullshit me till i tell them to go fuck themsleves and switch to billstein or koni. but no IDK what im talking about. The only agx’s i didn’t have issues with were the ones on the s13 i had for like a month in 2002. I actualy think those may still be on the car my that my friend now owns ---

From the Man Bob from Drift Office: Whoops - typed too fast. I assume you’re looking for a suspension you can use for street AND track, so I’ll give you the spiel that I give everyone who comes into the store, asking the same question… Firstly, your decision to purchase would be motivated greatly by price, as with everyone else, no matter what I’ve heard… price seems to always be the consideration. With that in mind, here’s what we’re looking at : Espelir Active Super Down (ASDs) w/ Tokico Blues or KYB GR-2s Price : Approx : $350 More of a STREET only setup, but it is still better than 20 year old stock shocks with cut springs… SWIFT / TRD Race Springs w/ KYB AGXx & T3 Strut Tube Spacer + NRCA Price : $Approx 850 We’ve got this and it’s a decent setup for both AutoX and Drift ~ by no means the all that ends all, but there’s certainly value here. D2 Racing Coilovers Price : Approx $1200 Full front & rear coilovers, complete with camber plates and fully adjustable shocks. They say 36 way but it’s really one of those infinite way adjustment shocks. They’re a bit less ergonomic than most, but it’s a working coilover setup. Not the greatest, but if you were to start building on the setup listed above, then with camber plates and such, you’ll exceed the $1200 mark. D2s are also height adjustable. Megan Racing AE86 Coilovers Price : Approx $1100 _Kit Form_ This offering is the latest amongst all out there ~ and it’s _very_ similar to what Greddy offers. In fact, it’s probably coming from the same plant that re-badged this design for Greddy’s in Taiwan. Construction looks to be every bit as good as Greddy’s offering below, but the difference is that they require you to cut off 50mm off your spindle’s perch so that you can slip it into the Megan strut sleeves and weld them on. Figure associated costs to do that and install to be another $300, bringing up your total to $1400. Greddy Type-S / T3 Coilovers Price : Approx $1600 Probably the best bang for the buck (for now, till some OTHER company comes out with their offering) and it will work well for any motor sport environment. Quality is pretty good and regardless of your brand orientation, Greddy is considered “bling.” Bling goes along way in the decision making process, so we’ll eventually see more people picking up the Greddys since they’re new and “hot”. T3’s coilover setup has been around for years and I’ve yet to see any real complaints either… All the rest : Tein / Silkroad / Cusco / TODA / Kei-Office / Revolver Price : Approx $1800 - $3000 There’s very little that warrants the large price difference between this group compared to the rest IMHO. But - if you want to really shine… or be a baller, then yeah, go ahead. My 2 cents! Bob Drift-Office, LLC So he uses Swift/AGX setup on their Formula D Ae86. Greddy also is known to seize.
