Tossed the 4x4 look for winter !

Finally got a chance to post these pics, and finally got the parts installed (the parts have been sitting in my bedroom for a year!)
Setup: Eibach-Pro Kit & KYB-AGX's
Thanks to njmaxseltd for the install !!!

What setup did you go with? I get my new suspension installed this Tuesday. I was going to do it myself, but a local performance shop will do it for only $40 a corner ($160 total).

LOL ... I couldn't get the soda can between the rear wheel and the body:

The ride is firm, no roll, and cornering is real nice. More firm then stock SE.
I have them set for 2-front and 4-rear.
Because I do mostly "city" driving, I might drop it to 1/2 or 1/3
The front assembly was sightly damaged, or I can't adjust them right now, I am waiting for a part to be shipped by KYB.

Then again, I have not given them a chance to break in.

Just bottomed out twice tonight, once on a driveway, another a ramp into a parking lot, ouch!
Tom: time to weld on some skid plates !
Oh what am I going to do in the winter, and I don't have a body kit !
But boy, I like the look !

Nice drop, where did you get the parts from? and what made you choose the KYB-AGX springs?

Just asking because I am looking to do a suspension upgrade soon.

97 Black SE. Still stock...
