KYB AGX and Ground Controls- Verdict is in

First, I'd like to start out by saying that I deleted the other threads so I am not a bandwith *****......

I had to raise up the front end a bit and the problem seems to be solved completely in the front. The rears are all the way up and they are still maiking some noise- but it is tolerable. I was MUCH happier with the stock struts, believe it or not.

My front end has a 2 1/2 finger gap and the rear has about the same. This is the absolute lowest I can go with my driving style or my wheels bang really hard.

I drive very fast, so I'm sure this is part of the problem, but I'd say that I'm not completely satisfied.

It might be just me, but I think the KYB's actually make the car sit lower than it did with the stock struts. Is this true?

I can't talk to Maxspeeds as I haven't seen them in person, but I can say that Eibachs definitely drop more than the rated 1.3"/1.0" F/R...

You car looks like about what I want. But does your homepage show any pics?? It looks like they are all stock suspension.

By the way Albert, I will most likely be selling my Ground Controls if you are still interested in getting some. I will also be selling my Stillen camber kit. I might just do it on ebay......

Right now I am at a 1.5" drop in the front and rear and I want MORE!!

I don't know anything about them. they cam on the car when I bougt it. But they are in perfect shape....They're just springs and a coil. Not too much damage you can do to them. Don't feel pressured. I'll probably just sell them on ebay and include the camber kit as well.
