Default Suspension upgrade is complete! :)

Finally, my baby is no longer stock..went from GSR w/AEM to:

Toyo T1-S, AGX KYB, H&R OE, Rear Sway Bar, xdrilled rotors and axxis metal master pads

What a difference! the car is quite a bit tighter on curves now

but I must say that the T1-S's Rock! last night it was raining cats and dogs but the car handle and gripped as if I was driving on dry pavement...holy $hit!

Question: when adjusting the agx shocks (mine are adjusted from the top), there is a small white dot beside the screwslot...when the white dot points towards a number (I have 1 to 4), does that mean that its set at that number or do I use the screw slot position to tell where's it set at?

If anybody has pics on top-adjusted agx shocks that would be great.

TIA

Remember, when you're adjusting it with the screw driver, push it in first, then rotate.

And yeah, the white number indicates what stiffness you're on.

Thanks guys,

I like the drop. its good enough to reduce/eliminate the ugly fender gap that was there before. Its only a 1" drop but its makes a marked difference from stock.

you might want to go to a hardware store and pick up some rubber bolt caps to put on top of the shocks so that the adjustment markings dont get worn off.

I have the same setup, as far as the springs and shocks go....I like it alot. The drop is perfect for me, and the stiffness of the suspension is great! I have a lot of fun with it around turns and i don't hear anymore clunks from the old suspension so I'm happy.
