GTR and Tony, I agree except instead of the Tokico springs I went with TEIN High Techs, which are similar but have a larger F/R drop differential, which was important to me because I have a 5-speed and didn't want the front to sit high. (Most aftermarket Maxima springs seem to be designed for autos since most Maximas are autos). The drop is 1.6" front and 1.2" rear, and honestly, I wish the front drop was even lower. They are good springs though, but I haven't ever driven on the Tokico springs so I have no firsthand basis for comparison. I usually have my Illuminas on 3/4 or 4/5, but in late fall I started to get unhappy with the ride. It took me too long to realize it was just the cold temperatures. I put them on 1/1 and finally the car felt comfortable again.

If that is so, how come some of the orgers who are selling their AGX's say that the warranty on theirs are no good?

every set of KYB struts I looked at said lifetime warrantee, so I want even if I'm 70 years old and I blow my struts want a replacement.

That sounds good to me. Some have said that using progressive springs (which most are anyway) voids warranty. I visited KYB's website and no info regarding lifetime warranty.

Don't forget to cut your bump stops or buy new KYB dustboots (which include bump stops)...most people don't realize they are hitting their bumpstops on every bump because the stops compress progressively, so your ride will be sh!tty if you're lowered at all unless you do this. Do a search for bump stops, there are tons of threads about it.

I got my Illuminas from Stillen. Stillen costs more than other places, but their exchange program is "no questions asked", which's important to me and struts.
Is it true that KYB's are not both-ways adjustable? Like you can only adjust compression or extension?

So I assume warranty is non-transferrable if that person decides to sell it to someone else.

for those that want coilovers, dont go with a sleve spring style...
I am upset cause i orderd D2's, i paid for them in DEC. and i wont be seeing them for another 2-3 weeks (if even that) , im prrity pissed and now i hear more people are having problems with them.
Dnt rush and go with teins or JIC's.

The looks are awsome from this suspension setup. Anyways.. it's time to get true coilovers...
