racing beat springs?

Does anybody have racing beat springs? Are they good? I am looking to buy some with my KYB AGX.

This is exactly the setup I have. They have a great feel to them. When adjusted fully stiff it rides like its on rails and you feel every bump in the road. Yet when on the softest setting it rides nice and smooth but the handling was still impoved over what I previously had. (some old stock setup.)

I love the feel it has given the car, its very predictable. It makes those moutain drives alot of fun over to the beach and back.

I picked up my stuff maybe a month ago... All came packaged very professionally.

The website was: http://p-s-t.com/kyb.html#agx

or just http://p-s-t.com/ then on the left select online catalog, then find KYB AGX.

It was $389 for a set of 4 with free shipping (I think the free shipping was part of some holiday special. A little bit before the 4th of July.). It seems like a small little store. I got no confirmation email for the day, then the next morning they called me on the phone to let me know that it had shipped and would be there in a week/week 1/2 since they must be somewhere remote from California (I can't remember sorry, says on their website im sure.)


(Very high quality. Almost makes me want to buy the exaust.)


(Note: I had already taken them out of their boxes and packaging at this point, not to worry.)

This was by far the best upgrade I have done to my car during its restoration process. Makes it feel like a whole new car.

Hope that helps.

personaly I would say save another $150 and buy ground control coilovers. Racing beat springs are going to run you about $250 while the GC coil overs are $400. You can use your KYB AGX with ground control too and you also get height adjustability.

I have some intrax springs on my car because they came on a new set of tociko 5ways I bought and BOY DO THEY SUCK ***. the front is wayyy lower than the rear these things are soo ******* shitty im getting rid of them once I have the cash for the GCs ok im done lol
