yup 01 and 98 are the same

you can fit parts ranging from 97-01 for the tiburons

thats a done deal. Just to give u a heads up, the shocks arnt as stiff as it should be. My ground controls lowered at 2.25 was alight. The shock travel was less because the car was lowered, so it kinda bounced.

anyways, this is a good deal!

heads up- he got those drop zone springs from another ebay person.

and he got the shocks here..

if youre going to go with the agx struts you might as well just do the coilovers ajay has. theyre only a little bit more. but wow that is a good price for the agx

no, the SS coilovers ajay has, they have three settings, daily, street, race. or something similar.. lemmer find it..

SS1—for normal street use in lower comfortable damping
SS2—for high speed or mountain road driving with higher damping
SS3—for kart or racetrack use with hard damping

those are the settings.. they are like 600$ + shipping from prostreetonline.com and they are adjustable from 1"-4" drop and have the badass adjustablility and easy install.

FYI, they will be my next suspension setup.

i have the eibach/kyb combo right now, and i love them, i just want a lil more dampening and about 1" lower.

just get the cheap ones. thats what i did when i bought my gr2. I just bought the cheap ones. If anythign happens file a clain with ur credit card company and they will reimburse u for it if u dont get it.

Like the post looks pretty legit. And the feedback of other people from buying shocks seem satisfied.

i dont think so socks. i think those are actual different coilovers. if you look at ajay's box in that one thread it says ss1. i dont believe the damping is adjustable.
