Default Just ordered KYB AGX...

I SEARCHED first, but didn't see much for what I'm looking for.

I was wondering if the Eibach Sportlines will be a good combo with the KYB AGX. I was a little worried because it said only 1.5" it covers. Sportlines are a little more then that. Anyone ride with this setup? Does it ride smooth? Also what settings should I keep the KYB AGX at?

Also I ordered from coximport.com over the phone and the owner of the site was very knowledgable and matched a price I found for 340.00 and I overnighted them for 60.00 with a camber kit.

You'll be fine with these...I've had them for two years now with my Sprint springs with 2.25/2.0 drop and they feel great. I have them set at 2 front and 6 rear for daily driving. You should have a good ride with these and the Eibachs.

i've had eibach sportline and the agx's (4-way adj.) on a 95 gsr 4dr for about a month now, it dropped it about 1.75" after the install. Since this is my first aftermarket suspension i can't really say how they compare to other brands, but i was VERY impressed. very smooth! btw, i dont think you'll need a camber kit with those springs...i didnt get much, if any, camber on my integra.

i usually use 2 on the front and 3 on the rear with the agx's

Im personally not a HUGE fan of the sportlines, not stiff enough for me. But, better than stock. I ran AGX's and Skunk2s and fell in love with it. I cant remember the exact rates on my skunks, its been awhile, but it was quite stiff and matched well with the agx.

Awesome...Good to hear...I just got Skunk2 coilovers for my civic (spring rates are 447f/335r) but haven't installed them yet. Sounds like they'll go good with my AGX's.

umm. i just got mine not to long ago and they gave me 2 screw drivers to adjust a little thing at the top of the rod. i was wondering if i got a old model or that is just how its made for a 92-96 prelude si. on their website it shows that it is adjusted with a circular **** on the side of it.

The fronts are adjusted from the top with the screw driver and the backs have a clicky dial.

Oh...then the picture you saw on the website was probably a civic kit.
