Ok, That Was Fun (Maxspeed/AGX)

Just came back from my first major outing on very windy roads on my new Maxspeed and AGX setup. All I can saw is WOW. That was a blast. With every turn I got a better feel for what the car could do, where the limits were, how to better hold to road, how to deal with the understeer, and even how to induce a little oversteer. By the end of the trip, I was able to actually controllably slide the back end of the car around the turns. Simply amazing. I can see how you guys dropped even lower have so much fun!

At the begining of the ride, I made my first 350Z sighting, and it had a fatty dent in the rear bumper already

Background: Maxspeed springs, agx (3/4), FSTB, RSB, installed 3 days ago, not yet fully settled.

How much of a drop did you get from the Maxspeed springs?

I'll definitely post pics of the drop when it's all settled. I am on stock 16" SE rims too, so they'll probably be a good reference. The ride is not harsh at all unless you set the AGX's real stiff. For day-to-day driving I have had it set medium in front and back (2 front, 4 back) which gives a firm, yet not too harsh ride. I set the fronts to 3 when going out to, um, drive spiritedly. At that, you can feel a lot of the little bumps in the road.

It has less to do with the springs than the struts. This small change from 2 to 3 in the front seems to change the feel of the car drastically which just reinforces the point, *don't* bother lowering your car without getting good struts, period.
