Thread: Shock install help

  1. #1

    Default Shock install help

    I have AGX shocks with springs already installed for my 92.
    I've had them for two months, need to get them on, and stop the pogo.
    I live in The Colony, have access to a large shop in Sachse where we work on the Vette 3800 Sq Ft, or I can come to anybody's place for help.
    I would like to do it on any of the following dates if anyone can help.
    May 28, 29, 30, or 31.
    June 01 through June 10 any day or night.
    After that I'm on vacation, F1 trip, etc. until July.
    I'm willing to drive for help.
    My cell is 214-797-3922 if that helps.
    TIA.

    Sounds like the hard work is done. I just did the ones on my 94. I am willing to help. I have to work this weekend so I cannot help on the 28th or 29th.

    Hrmmm... don't think that far in advance lately, but if you get a wild urge to do them Wednesday night, let me know and you're welcome to cruise down to Plano. If you've already got the units assembled, it'll take less than 45 minutes from wheels up.

    I'll clean out a Miata-size space in the middle of my garage. It should be cool enough by 7 to make it less painful.

    You can never have enough 10/12/14/17 sockets when beating up your Miata...

    I think we're covered, though.

    Default What happened last night was shocking!

    Sorry it took so long to post but work!

    Lauren, thank you very much for the space, expertise, and help last night on the shock install.
    I would have not completed this on my own.
    If you see them please pass on my thanks to Sean and AJ also.
    Oh, maybe Big Foot Titus too.
    The car is amazingly different and all for the better. I had no idea it would be this much better. the shcok settings seem to work for me very well.
    Thanks again to all.

    Glad to hear!

    Just lucky for you those were used shocks so you didn't have to through that break-in period we talked about.

    Default Man this is good

    Thanks once again as this car is so much improved after the AGX shock install.
    Last night on back roads to Sachse and back it was fantastic. A different car altogether.
    You just don't know how bad the originals are as they fade each day, month, and year.
    What a difference.
    Thanks to all.
