Uber Deaf One Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 If I want to run KYB AGXs on the front of my 510, which ones should I get? 280ZX struts. MR2 front? rear? New style MR2 or old style? lol My GR2s are blown and it's time to get some real shocks since I'm doing a track day in 2 weeks. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Uber Deaf One Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks. Some people were saying SW11 rears... so I guess it's just an opinion thing. KYB doesn't seem to make the AGX for the rear of the SW11, so I just ordered some SW20 front inserts. The valving is probably a little too soft for the front of a 510 with a heavy KA, but we'll see how it works. I might be able to just crank up the stiffness for the track, and turn it down for a nice soft ride on the street. Track day in 2 weeks! Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sw20 mr2 fronts Isn't that only if his strut tubes are shortened? Quote Link to comment
Uber Deaf One Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Mine are shortened, and funnily enough the SW20 front inserts fit PERFECTLY inside my strut tube. No spacer needed. AWESOME. I've been running Camaro GR2s with a spacer. Too bad my camber plate spacer is too big for the shock... not too big of a deal, just used some tape to make it a tighter fit. Then I ran into a bigger issue..... my top hats didn't fit over the shock tube. Great. Was hoping to get the car back together tonight :( Stopping at a machine shop tomorrow to have them mill out the top hats slightly... no big deal, just a bummer I guess since I thought everything would work perfectly based on how confident sssr20det510 seemed. Live and learn. Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 My camber plates came with some collars to take up the space. But I did need to get my top hat drilled out. Quote Link to comment

Uber Deaf One Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 lol NOW people post that they had to have the top hats drilled out... wish I had known this before hand. Almost had a heart attack last night when this shit wouldn't fit lol, I don't have time to get another set of shocks before the track day :( No big deal, I had to drill them out ever so slightly from 3/4" to 7/8" Getting ready to reassemble everything.. can't wait to try these shocks at the track!!

The Dat-side Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah sorry. I bought everything from a Datsun guy so he knew what had to be done. Quote Link to comment
