Sprint/AGX Installed

Just finished install tonite...took me about 3 hours last night to do the front and about 1 1/2 hours to do the rear today..Install was straight forward. I paid ~$490 for the struts and springs off of Ebay.

All I can say is WOW!!!! The drop is amazing..2.5 fingers in the front and about 3 in the rear including a sub in the trunk..Hoping that it will settle a little bit more this week.

I have my AGX's set at 2 front and 4 rear..The ride in my opinion is smoother than people say...just a little stiffer than stock..Handling is fabulous! Pics will be posted tomorrow.

I have heard cases where the camber kits arent used and the camber is fine, but others use them...from the naked eye it doesnt seem too bad but ill probly end up getting the bolts anyway.

I'm getting a friend of mine to check it out today maybe and see how my alignment is. If I don't need the camber bolts I bought I am going to sell them.

They should settle down to about one finger gap. My Eibachs have the gap you have now.

I was gonna say, that still quite a bit of wheel gap. Hell of a lot less then the OEM 4X4 springs though.

i got the same setup, i'm well settled, i would say i have two TIGHT fingers, basically 1.5 and 2 fingers with not too much stress in the back. Beautiful gap, but the worst for those interested in getting a kit :mad

Yhea, it's easy to forgett how bad stock wheel gap is untill you park next to a stock Max. Eibachs were plenty low enough at first, but now I am shopping for used sprints.
