Just Installed My Sprint & KYB AGX Today, NO NOISE!!!

THanks for all the advise regarding the vinyl tubing, etc... It worked!!!

The car rides awesome and I am very happy with the drop... I cut one coil in the rear and it's nice and even....

I'l post pics when I have the energy to clean it.

It also only took me 3 hours with hand tools and no breaks... I was surprised myself...

I hope my CAI comes to me today...

3 hours is great timing .it took me six hours but then i didnt have the right tools either. agx are a much easier install i have the konis and you have to modify the front strut housing which takes time. well enjoy ..

I left my fronts off (rears on). I cut the front bumpstop by 1 rib.

Actually, I reversed a rear bushing like an idiot but it was already on by the time I realized. Mr clunk came for a visit. I'll get to it tomorrow,

Nah, I'd go with good stuff... I used the helical coil from radio shack and some 1/2 " (inside diameter) vinyl tubing from Homeboy Deepot...

no no no... The front were so worn that they seperated from the bumpstop. I used the bumpstop but cut it up one rib...
