Default KYB AGX w/ Eibach prokit

I have recently purchased the KYB AGX gas struts, and the Eibach pro-kit loweing springs. My friend says that the Eibach with the gas stuts will leave the back a little lower than the front. Any suggestions, or comment would be helpful.

uh, that makes no sense.

ride height has nothing to do with the performance of the shocks.

ppl do complain about ride height issues with any springs, but theyre just being ****.

Agreed.

If you are that picky about ride height, go with a coilover system, and get rid of the springs.

I had this set up on my '01 GSR and loved it. Excellent ride quality, impressive handling over stock, and less wheel gap ... yet tastefully not slammed.

At first glance it did look slightly lower in the rear but it was actually a kind of optical illusion due to the difference in the shape of the rear wheel well as compared to the front. A quick check with the measuring tape revealed an even ride height.

My car was otherwise stock and it did not look obviously lowered. Very clean set up ... looked like it should have from the start.
