I just got a set of KYB AGX shocks and struts, as well as Suspension techniques springs for my S14 last monday. I got around to installing them yesterday after getting Jay's SR running. Besides the fact that I was tired, sore, and bleeding from the experience I do have some points to share about the settup that I learned taking "the long way home" :)

This is a very nice settup for the money, I'm really happy with the way the car drives now. Even with my crap 16in stock alloys and worn out tires I can really feel the difference. The best part (or worst depending on if your GF is in the car or not) is the fact that I can get the thing to rotate so much more smoothly now coming around a turn. Powerslides are a lot more controlable than they were before. I've also noticed that the car dosn't quite have the lift throttle overstear problem that it had mid-cornner before I did the work. Body roll has also gone down quite a bit.

Overall the car is just a lot more neutral in the cornners (it was plowing like a pig unless I forced the rear end out before). My last car which I just had ST springs on it, that made it cornner flatter, and gave it a stiffer ride, it just didn't change the overall handeling traits of the car like adding struts did. This is one of the most favorable 'fun to drive' mods I think I've done short of installing a turbo. comes highly recomended by me :)
