I had Maxspeed springs before I switched to Sprint. Right after you get it installed your gonna be Wow~~ the ride is very firm but still nice. I loved it but the reason I switched to Sprint is the wheel gap. Maxspeed still gets rid of the 4X4 looking but It wasn't enough for me. So I went ahead and got Sprint which is lot harder as far as the ride. You feel everything on the road as you drive it which Maxspeed didn't. So overall I would recommend Maxspeed not just for money but quality.

maxspeeds are a little firm for my taste, but handling was greatly improved..... just get some AGX's and your handling will be nice with any spring

If you are going to replace springs, you might as well replace the shocks/struts as well...... The stock struts wont be able to take the abuse from the stiffer springs and they dont like the higher pressure from being lower......

You will have the suspension apart anywya, so you might as well do both at the same time and save yourself the hassle of replacing the struts later if one blows a seal on you.......

custommaxima.com recommended the AGX's with the progressive springs. that is the setup I am going to go with. I don't want to stiff a ride, but I want the cars handling to greatly increase. As long as the ride is not harsher than my mustangs it should be ok. Although I wish I knew more about progressive.

Nice site.

For those looking for KYB GR2's you can get them for $250 shipped from Foreign Car Parts - they are a reputable e-bay seller - they are always listing AGXs on Ebay for $346 shipped.

I just bought my GR2's from them by contacting them and asking if they sold them.
Contact Nick Bauer at foreigncarparts@hotmail.com
