Finally Got to Install 8000k HID and KYB AGX!!
I had to wait for over a month to install the AGXs and HIDs that were sitting in my garage because they were Christmas gifts...
Yesterday afternoon I installed the Hanabi 8000k HIDs ...they look extremely nice and after aiming them correctly tonight, they light up the road like it is day.
JoesMax and I installed the AGX's today and all I can say is WOW!!! My stock struts were blown due to riding on Sprint springs for about 6 months and H&Rs for 6 months prior to that. The ride comparison is night and day! I have them set on 3 up front and 6 in the rear and the ride is very, very stiff and very controlled. Before, I was bouncing and jumping all over the place. It sucked...
I'll try and take some pics of the 8000k's when the weather is nicer, but most of you guys know what they look like anyway (thanks Freddie!)

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I ordered the Stillen kit tonight and should have that by next week and painted soon after!! Thanks Alex at SWA for the SICK deal on it...

the ride was bouncy on your old struts? I thought worn struts are floaty (205k on my stock struts...these are floaty!)
If you want bouncy, put the struts on max and see how jarring the ride becomes.
Which way do your rear strut dials face?

The rear strut dials face in, that way they are easy to adjust simply by reaching behind the rim. My rims have openings large enough for me to reach right through and change the dial making it much more convenient.
