    Hello all! Ive been an o/o for about 8 months now after buying a 1991 T600 with the ag100 suspsension. Just rebushed and aligned it. Was talking with some friends who said that I could upgrade to ag380/400. I've done a lil research on them and was wondering which suspension was the better choice to upgrade to when that time comes. Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks much!!

    AG 380 is a 4 bag suspension,basically the same as the airtrac on a pete.
    You can upgrade a AG 200 to a AG 400but i don't think you can upgrade a 100 to a 400.

    ^^^What he said^^^
    You can upgrade the 100 from the steel beaver tails to the aluminum style, which makes it a 200, thats it.

    The 100 steel brackets would develop cracks at the bottom where the bolt passes thru frt to back.the 200 alum brackets seemed to last the best.the 8 bag systems after that in my opinion are crap as they would wear the pivots and casting constantly and wear tires poorly.I'd take either the 100 or 200 over the newer anyday.the new 4 bag looks ok but I have not run them much on kws.

    You may want to look into Airliner suspension. Any of the upgrades you mentioned require fully swapping the suspensions. The airliners are everywhere and can be had cheap. You can pick up a cuttoff for 2k around here.
