Hi I'm a new owner of a 95 200sx se with front body damage. I got the damage and hood straight now I'm looking to lower it. I've got a agx/suspention tech strut/spring set I'm considering and I want to know where to get the bushing kit thats got it all?
Heres a link to something I've found. http://www.jegs.com/i/Energy+Suspension/355/7-18105G/10002/-1
Is that just control arms or does it got the bump stops too? I'm new to tuning cars just want to get the full bushing kit for everything at once.

Welcome to to the forum.

I've got a agx/suspention tech strut/spring set I'm considering
"Suspension Techniques" springs?

If you are looking for a performance suspension, read this first, before you buy those springs.

You'll thank me.

You want Koni bumpstops, not ES bumpstops. See that thread I already posted.

Call The Go Fast Depot, or Greg V at G-Spec for help with your ES bushings. Both are listed under Forum Vendors.

Suspension Techniques -
B13: 1.5" drop front, 1.5" drop rear
Struts To Use: *CSK's only for a daily driver, no OEM length struts.
Rate: 133-175 front, 91-150 rear
Ballpark price: $220'ish

OK they are way too soft? If I put them on I'll just get the bumpstops from Koni and ride it because I don't race.

Too much of a drop plus too soft of a spring.

It has nothing to do with racing or not.

You will have 1.5" of travel vs. 3" stock. Half the OEM travel.

You will bottom out, putting major stress on your AGX's. They may last a while, but you will blow them out. How fast you kill your AGX's will depend on your road surfaces and driving style. But the AGX's will prematurely die.

Bumpstops are not the solution for too little suspension travel.

Pair your AGX's with either Road Magnet or Hyperco Gen II springs. AGX's will not work well with any of the "Other Springs."

Or utilize CSK's with your Suspension Techniques springs (or any of the other springs as advised in The Suspension Thread).

Best of luck to you.
