Hey,
Who here has modded the KYB AGX to fit the 2002 ? Has anyone had any problems whatsoever? I plan to use eibach 4thn gen springs too... according to my mechanic this is the best combination? Any advice?

I have the modified KYB AGX on my 2k2, and I have no problems at all. I am using H&R springs though. I would do a search on this, I seem to recall people having problems using the Eibachs with the modded AGX's

Most companies are very protective of this proprietary info.

I have the modified KYB's and the GC coilovers ... I don't mind the ride @ all ... I went for a spin with MiniRX7 about a month ago and he commented on the fact that there was no way his stock 2K2 would stay on the road.

I have the Stillen RSB, FSTB plus sticky T1-S's. S0-3's are on their way!

I would say probably 2 finger widths front and back...
