Road Race's website says that the AGX is not a good strut for the 2g Eclipse because the front shock length is too long if the car is lowered at all. Does anyone have any opinions on this?

From all the questions about AGX's on this board and others (DSMTalk), the best I can tell is that:
1. They are to long and tend to bottom out.
2. Its not unbearable
Take for what it is, I guess. Serveral people say they have no problem with AGX's, others hate them...

Performance: Stuff that makes my car run better or go faster
Looks: Stock because looks doesnt make my car go faster or run better
Weight Reduction: CF Hood, No A/C or Powersteering Accessories, No rear interior
I think you should be the first to get the new Tein Springs...I dont know how much they lower...but why not just get the best?
