I know that there is a few fellas on ClubGP lowered on the stock GXP struts with SSC's and Ive only heard nothing but good from them. I plan on lowering my this spring on SSC's with the stock bilsteins, they are a great performance strut, some would say the best you could get but IDK i think maybe the AGX's are....

It's probably my favorite mod(s). It took all the body roll and that questionable feeling when cornering out of the car. The handling is a lot more linear and the car feels planted and nimble. I impress people when I can hold canyon sweepers at 90+ in a boat of a car.
Not to mention the car rides somewhat close to stock and looks sick.

I had Eibach springs and AGX's on my Stratus coupe and it was a rough ride, but I only got the AGX's because I found them for the same price as GR2's. Even though it was a rough ride, the car rode like it was on rails.
Thanks.
What number do your ride on? I heard if you leave it on 2, then you could basically get the GR2's and have the same ride.

Yes, you take the the wheel off and adjust the screw valve with a screwdriver or there's an adjustable **** on the side that dictates firmness.

dude i see you around all the time, come spring time i hold meets the more the merrier i say
For a little while, yes they can. But when you lower a car, you put an increased load on the shock/strut to dampen the movements in a shorter stroke and with more frequency, so that tends to kill stock struts quickly.

hmm so should i replace them with new bliesteins or should get kyb struts like yours? would those work on the gxp kyb any better?
If you replace the Bilsteins, they have about a 10k-15k life now with a lowered car.
