i just talked to KYB , and they told me that thats not possible that it was stock, they talled it was modified before for lowering or somthing alse. NOt sure what. SO i guess i dont have to buy new suspension just new springs. ( so eclsipe u are right it was modifide before i bough the car.)




By the way any sugestion how low i should go..... NJ
1.5 inches ...how did you take to KYB? I think your mechanic might have just given you miss info... I dont see why someone would do suspension modds but not lower the car at the same time ...kinda doesnt make any sence. unless shock\struts were really bad

DO NOT LOWER THE CAR ON THE STOCK STRUTS/SHOCKS!!! THEY WILL BLOW AND THEN THE CAR WILL RIDE LIKE ***. trust me. go ahead and replace the the shocks/struts with the AGXs at the same time that you do the springs. just trust me on this. it will save you time and money to do them both at the same time. if not, then 2 months after you replace the springs, you will have to replace the shocks.

by the way, i can't really understand what you are trying to say from all the typing and grammatical errors. are you saying that the shocks are already aftermarket?

ya you will deff. regret not doing them from the start if you dont... and it will take no time before the car feels like it floats when your changing lanes

ok can someone post the pics of the shock absurbers from the back of the mitsu Gt 2000+ Because Im thinking mine its just they way it suppost to be.


The reason is because i just saw a anouthr Gt and i check what it had and it was the same as mine. So now im thinking the mechanic who told me i have stuts all around made a big *** mastake, and made me lose time because i was planing to order gr2 KYb suspension like 2 weeks ago.

one is the stock spring one is after the goldline spring... and yes it is the front I didnt put it because I figured by me saying GS that would be enough to clerify, now that I rethink that I prob. should have just put it
