They still need to settle a bit, but damn does it ever look lower. When I only had the fronts on, it looked mean as hell :cool:

smoother than it was with stock springs and the AGX's. The real test was driving through a neighboring county where the roads are in horrible shape. Before, I was jostled around and thought my car was gonna come apart around me. Now, it's not that bad. Still bumpy there, but not bad.

Looks good. I like it's much better than what it was before. Think I may get some as well.. whenever I can afford them, that is.

Well I think I am getting the same springs I found them for 150 bucks and I am getting the agx struts as well only the best price I found was 380 shipped . Did you measure how much it lowered your car? My springs have been heated up and bent so I will not really know how much it would have lowered my car. I talked to the tech and he thought it was allready 2 inches lowered. I rides like crap right now.

I used our suspension FAQ to decide on the springs. According to the FAQ, the springs should lower the car 1.5" up front and 1.2" in the rear. I think it was closer to 2" all around, but that's just me. I didn't get out and measure.
