USA agx and gr'2

hi everyone...

I was planning to replace both my strut front and back and found a kyb agx adjustable front and gr2 back on tiretrack.com.
i heard someone had this on thier ae92, but does it fit with the oem spring beacause i wasn't trying to chage the spring yet........


short story...

I have a ae92 4af sr5 givin to me by my aunt when it was still 80k and it is now 117k. Recently i have chage the Rotor,pads,tie rod k&n air filter, fuel filter, h4 conversation, foglights, new batt and amp/stereo...
The car have a blown headgasket major oil leak but that was fix,radiator flush and had trans rebuild few years back
and thats all i have done so far.


I was planing to keep the car till 200k then a 4agze swapp.......

They'll fit with stock springs but you'll have to get front strut casings from a corolla gts. You'll put AGX struts from a 91 mr2 in those and you'll be good to go.

A forum member might have a pair for sale. Or a junkyard, that's where I got mine.

I have the Eibach Pro lowering spring kit (1" drop), with AGXs on the front and GR-2s on the back.
I had GR-2s all around and it worked fine, I only went to the AGXs because I run autocross with this car.

You feel the difference with the AGXs over the GR-2s, but if you can't get the front struts, you will still feel quite an improvement with the GR-2s over the stock struts, even if you keep the stock springs.

This is what the 1" drop looks like on my GT-S

I have the same setup as Donald. AGX front and GR-2 back with Eibach springs. They are big improvement over stocks.

If you're interested, I have a used pair of GR-2 fronts in SR-5 case. lmk

As far as I know, SR5's use full strut up front... you need GTS front strut casings in order to use the AGX cartridges.

Yep! You are right, but I think 89 Celica front struts are cartridge type too, and those should fit.
I'm not sure, so don't hold me to it.

yeah, they're actually the same KYB part numbers... so chances are they're the same Toyota part numbers.
