I'm bout to do my suspension on my NX2000 just a couple of questions

1. All my struts are dead, what do i need to replace besides the struts.
2. Should i get new strut mounts and the koni bumpstops as well.
3.What setting on the AGX's do you guys run in the front and rear with eibach prokits.

1. yes..see 2 as well as that little bearing on top and maybe a whole new bushing kit for your suspension (this might be overkill)
2. yes. new stock bumps stops might work well too. thats what i got.
3. i run 3 and 6 f/r with my sus techs.

Has anyone considered something like this:

They're $436 @ summit and you'd need 2 sets, so a little under 1k plus some fabrication. I really don't know anything about suspensions for these cars and how this would compare to whats available. But I can vouch the that QA1 shocks are excellent!

Get the KYB AGX struts they are proven time and time again w/ either GC coil overs or Eibach springs. Another thing to do that isn't too expensive is change your bushings and motor mounts w/ ES Flex kit. Be warned because the rear suspension on SR20 cars can be a real bitch. Make sure you have a vice and a big ass C-clamp ( 9" worked for me) to use as a press. Also make sure you have a Sawzaw and a bunch of blades. Some of the bolts may rust clean to the inner metal bushings and must be cut out.
