Depends on how much the car is lowered. It says right on the package warranty void if ride hight is altered. They have a good warranty beyond that. Mine have been on over a year without a problem.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Chrissy:

You're using Eibach Sportlines with the AGX's, am I correct? Those springs really slam the car down with not-so-stiff spring rates, leaving the car with not much suspension travel left, and therefore having the car bonk on the bumpstops quite often. I had Eibach Sportlines on my SE-R, and it was on the stock struts. I was surprised the stock struts held on that long (10k+ miles), but I'm sure I was on the bumpstops more often than not. With my GC's, I have the car set only about .75" lower than stock height.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Storm88000:
Tell me about it. The ride is beginning to really annoy me. I've had my suspension on since last October. It's starting to drive my crazy. Don't know how much longer it will stay on the car. </font>
What kind of springs are you using with your AGX's? I usually have my rear shocks set at 5, and the ride isn't too bad. My car seemed floaty in the rear with any setting below that.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Chrissy:
Yeah these must have like 40k on them...I am guessing. I think its time to replace them, at least the back ones. Yeah my ride is harsh as hell. It bounces really bad too, and I have them set on 5 now too.</font>
Try experimenting with the settings by starting out with the middle adjustment for both the front and rear (2 front, 4 rear)... Too harsh? Bring it down... Too soft? Bring it up. "Decent" settings are subjective.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Tigermiata:
BTW, what settings are recommended for these? My wife's 200 has a set, stock springs, and IIRC the # of settings is different F/R and I had to guess what would be a decent setting for each end. Comments?</font>
That's where it is, now; thanks anyway.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by RollcageSR20:

New struts are a absolute must. Ground Controls are going to be twice as stiff as the stock springs. They will eat up and spit out stock struts in a matter of 10-12k miles. Not to mention the ride would suck on the stock struts.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by spudnex:
On average how long do stock struts last? I have 91K on my 98 SER and I would like to get Ground Control coil overs soon. I don't plan on going real low, just eliminate some of the wheel gap and tighten up the feel of the car. Would new struts be a good idea now or or later on when they are really shot?</font>
How can they tell if the car was lowered too much? I bought mine back in february and was wondering if the lifetime warrenty would cover mine? When i purchased mine, i believe it was only a limited warrenty.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Soupaflie:

Custom made cat-back are far better than most aftermarket ones. Courtesy has an STB that fits. I have one. A $650 tranny and one axle shaft will solve the LSD problem.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by brian:
ya, if you want a real one get a 98. no cheap cat back, most stbs will not fit, no lsd, the list goes on.</font>
