I've always heard H&R's are better for ride quality. I have H&R's and they're pretty nice.

For best overall ride you don't want to use AGX shocks.

Couple H&R or Eibach springs with Tokico Illuminas for the best overall ride.

AGX's ride firm, on the border line of harsh when there coupled with sport springs.

agreed, if you're going for ride try illumina/h$R. I have Eibach and AGX and I love it but in the winter it's pretty harsh. Kicks **** in the spring/summer/fall though!

What setting did you have the AGX's on?? A softer setting often time means a worse ride with springs like Sprints...

That's your problem right there
Starting test settings should be around 3/6, if not even higher for sprints.

Start at 3/6 first and if it still feels bouncy stiffen it up. But 3/6 should be fine...

i have 3 front 6 rear. love the handling and stiffness, hate it when it goes over bumps in the winter. Summer is perfect at this setting. I'm just lazy.
