re:

I've had this set up for few months - front tokico hp's , KYB AGX in rear coupled with H&R springs , stock SE rims.

nice drop , firm sporty ride - bit harsh on bad roads but nice and well controlled on smooth surface. Now i'm back on stock SE springs and there isn't any dramatic difference - car leans in turns a bit more.

if i ever had to lower my car again - it would only be H&R springs and most expensive struts you can buy.

Ditto to what "nismo 14" said. I've been rollin' on H&Rs and Tokico blues close to 3 yrs and feels just like stock. Not too low......gets rid of the "4X4" look.

I have KYB AGX and H&R Springs all around. I have the settings on 3/4. I can't complaine. Its very smooth, when its very cold and when its very worm. I think you should spend some more money and buy the TOKICO Illumina. Thats what I will do when, the AGX struts fail.

been rocking them for a couple years now,
Love the ride - as comfortable as stock - but lower and handles better.

Only complaint is, for some reason when I get on it - the rear squats a LOT... ?

so the only down fall of the H&Rs is that the rear may squat? At least it gives you a pretty much stock ride...and that is what I'm going for..just trying to get rid of that damn wheel gap...if you see mine you can stick your head in the front fender. Just got my springs this weekend...just time for struts..but I'm now looking forward to this mod, keep in mind that I've been riding on blown GXE springs and struts for almost a year...after my SE bit the big one!
