So I was trolling eBay yesterday and came across Stagg Struts.
Did a little bit of research here and nothing came up. Googled them and found some information. There were already reviews from a handful of other car models/makes (BMW, Mazda, etc..) It seems as this company has it merits, some negative points as expected. For the most part the general consensus is that they're not bad for what you pay, but if mistreated they might blow. One particular reviewer stated his front right shock blew. That was after navigating a road that had construction at the foundation level, hit a bump and got around "6 inches" of air and it blew when it landed. That was also while going 45mph (note: this users friend with KYB struts also blew on this same road). Some of you might be asking why not save up and get coilovers? After thinking hard about it, I don't plan on truly slamming it nor do I think I'll be changing my mind and raising my ride height. The roads here in Arizona, well at least in my city aren't sh**y, and I don't plan on auto-xing nor do I plan on taking it off any sweet jumps. Just using it as a casual DD, and costing only $160 shipped I figured why the hell not. From reviews I've heard Stagg offers a LIFETIME warranty within 1.5 drop (like KYB), cant confirm 'tho. I will be dropping with Megan springs which I understand is about a 1.5-2 inch drop, I'm probably pushing it but we'll see. I'll keep this page updated as receive, install and "test" them with my daily routine of driving to and from work/stores. ..And yes I will be here immediately following the blowing of any of the struts This post has been edited by smkr3w: Feb 29, 2012 - 10:55 PM -------------------- ![]() 6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

Toe wears tires much faster than camber.
Some camber wear is okay, but if your toe is out, you gotta getit fixed asap -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
