Do they leave a big gap between the tire and fender?

Neither. I currently have Tein S-techs coupled with KYB AGXs. Although great for someone wanting to bring the 4x4 stance to what the car should had been from the factory, they lack a linear spring rate and, of course, adjustability.

I plan to go with Koni Yellows and Ground Control springs next. Koni Yellows are one of the most versatile shocks on the market used by thousands of autocrossers and race teams. GCs allow the customer to choose the desired spring rate as well.

I second that Tulsa, I have AGX’s with Ground Control and Im extremely happy with it on a daily driven ride. AGX’s have held up for almost a year and Im dropped ~ 2 inches down. I will be going Koni Yellows as soon as these baztards decide to die…

If you got a daily driver, and crap roads like we do in DFW, I HIGHLY recommend this setup.

4 Bills is not that bad in my opinion, so I went to the source:

Even if say, ebay, has them for 100 less; I personally don’t think its worth it.
