Comments on AGX/H&R after 2 weeks (PICS)

I wanted to wait at least 2 weeks before giving my opinion on the new setup. Let me start by saying I'm an idiot for not doing it sooner. There were a few adjustments and settlement noises, but nothing out of the ordinary. The ride is incredible and not harsh at all (Set at 2 and 4 with a FSTB included). I don't feel like I'm going to flip the car cornering at higher speeds, and it looks 10 times better sitting a little bit lower. Check out my before and after pics and tell me what you think.

Looks great, I was not sure if I am going to do AGX + stock SE springs or AGX + H&R but now I think I am going to go with the H&Rs.

it looks good ... i noticed that you had to take a different parking spot ... were you worried about hitting the concrete thing and messing up your bumper?

No, I just wanted to get all of the car in the picture. I haven't scraped anything yet. I parked over those concrete things in the past 2 weeks and haven't hit them yet.

I have H&R's and AGX's on order now. How is the handling in the wet weather? I have a freakin headache because the car kept felling like it was going to lose contol. Not to say the car even hydroplaned at 60. Its raining here in MA and I have to be easy when cornering because of the stock setup. My tires need to be replaced too.

I think I've had it in the rain a couple of times, but it still handles great. I tell you what, it's suppose to rain in a few days, I'll test it and see how it does. BTW, I have Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus tires (215/55/16 VR speed), which is a touring tire on 16 inch 2000 stock SE rims.

Looking good BlancMax!

I have to say your car looks spectacular! Spotless! (Just the way mine is ) The 5th Gen rims look very nice, sleek yet custom-looking, and the drop looks very nice as well. Can't wait to order my AGXs.
