I got KYB AGX Struts with Tein springs right now, and it says these will work with stock or aftermarket struts...just wondering? Will they work, or is it an ebay ricer thing.

i can't even fathom how those retarded things would work. even if they were the right diameter, that center metal piece would f*ck up your chassis if you bottomed out the shock. which would slam that metal piece, off the bottom coil set, into your upper mount. jeezYou'd seriously consider a suspension setup that would only cost you about $11.25/ wheel?

If you get them, make sure you cut your brake lines for clearance purposes.

What are you talking about thread jacking?! Didn't read the entire thread? This has already gone beyond thread jacking But just ask for a picture of the springs ENGRAVED P/N with their ebay name by it. Not engraved not tein, just an ebay fraud.This is also my 100th post. Ruining someones thread....
