Anything important in the Sprint and AGX documentation?

I got sprints and agx's used and there was no original documentation included. I'm just wondering what the jist of it all was and if they was anything important that I would need to know before installing and such. Also can anyone guide me in the right direction on how to adjust the fronts? I'm not seeing any ***** like on the rears. Thanks

To adjust the front struts you need to turn the dial at the top of the strut, on top of the threaded end. There are four settings, and the small white dot will point to what ever setting your at. Just remember to push down while making the adjustemts with a small screwdriver, if you don't push down as you turn the dial the instructions say that you could ruin the strut. I just received my AGX's today, my H&R's last week, just waiting for some OEM suspension parts from Courtesy Nissan to do the install. The only other thing is that they don't recommend these struts for lowering a car more than 1 1/2". I think that is about it.

What additional parts are you buying? Are they neccesary? Does anyone have a write-up on how to install the suspension? I've looked with no luck. Thanks.

After searching many threads about suspension installations, and noise,
these are the parts that I ordered from Courtesy Nissan. They should be here on Monday. I paid $214 dollars, which is not cheap, but better than the $380 dollars that my local dealer was asking for. I did not want to have any noise, so that is why I bought all this stuff, and the fact that my car has 100k miles.

2 - Strut Bearings (54325-5V000)
2 - Front Dust Boots, with the bumpstops (54050-38U02)
2 - Rear Dust Boots, with the bumpstops (55240-0M315)
2 - Front Spring Polyurethane Isolation Sleeves for the top of the spring (54034-31U01)
4 - Front Spring Polyurethane Isolation Sleeves for the bottom of the spring (54034-31U20)
2 - Rear Spring Polyurethane Isolation Sleeves for the bottom of the spring

I'm in the same position...I have the H&R's and just got the AGX's...waiting for OEM stuff from Courtesy. I guess one of the parts is on national backorder?!?! I hope that **** comes through soon...I've had the H&R's for like a year and a half waiting to put them on...I don't know if I can take it much longer.

That's a long time to wait on the springs. I can barely wait to get my stuff on. Probably on Tuesday, man that feels so far away.
