I love my setup. It's a little bumpy but I'll take discomfort versus cornering power any day. The good thing is that it's adjustable damper so I can set it up according to how I want it to drive, for example if I want more oversteer I'll make the front softer and rear stiffer. then the oppsite to get understeer. The springs are great too really stiff, my car has hardly any body roll. Good stuff but I think coil overs are a joke though cuz whenver you raise of lower the car you gotta get a wheel alignment again unless your ok with dragging your tires around with messed up toe.
well since you don't have AGXs not sure about GR2s but these are supposedly have less travel than a stock shock so it's easy to bottom out and mess them up. My car is SLAMMED right now so it's fine for me but if you wanna slam your car I don't suggest getting AGXs or get AGXs for the rear and something else for the front.

I got everything installed. A few q's though. I was goin by what my invoices and directions said were front and back for everything. For the coilover on the back, the springs could easily be moved up and down by hand, no adjustment or anything needed.....just free before i put them on. Also, i think they may be bottoming out in the back as well. i am hearing noises from back there everytime i hit a bump, I'm gonna clean it out tonight and see if it was just something hitting my strut bar. Other than that, great ride, can't wait for the springs to settle so i can really see what i can do with em.

D'oh....i jus had to tighten the nut at the top of the strut, the one you see in the trunk, and all is well. No more bad noises. Official word thus far upon this set up: Tis a tad bouncy, but i had my friend drive it and i followed him and you can't really see it from the outside, so it ain't ricy lookin. Handles hella fine, and looks great behind the rims Now i jus gotta lower the bastids

I had Skunks on my last ride....and it was really bouncy, I hated them. They handle well, but I've gotta have a little more comfort...that why I chose springs for this car.

Does anyone know what the actual number for the Skunk2 springs in the front are? (the number on the spring) I just want to make sure that I put them in the right places

just a warning about GR2's...From my personal experience mixing them with H&R's led to a good ride temporarily, but that it quickly deteriorated as the shocks wore out.....Just a thought.

Loosen the discs by turned them both in opposite directions, them spin them down to the height you want. After that, turn them against each other to tighten.
