Finally lowered it :) my rebuild hatch

hooray...now more pics
did you know busch light made shocks?



size comparison, left is rear, right is front



the angle in this picture makes it look alot higher than it is


now i wonder how much lower it will go after things settle

before picture

and now thats out of the way. im sanding it down and it goes in for paint soon. gonna be red off the 2006 tacoma
oh yeah...i live in the mountains...being crazy dropped is not the best of ideas.
not to mention i just installed them and they need to settle a bit.
and im getting a different size tire, those came on those gay wheels when i got the car.
im gonna stick some 195/60's in there to replace the 195/50's

sorry to say but kyb agx shocks are a bad experience. after about a year you'll notice theyre gona get softer and softer. eventually theyre gona bounce like a trampoline. integra i bought had them for about 5 years and it was horrible. just had them replaced with tein basics feels a million times better.
I've had my AGXs for about two years now and they're still hard as a rock. I live in pothole city, and i'm lowered 2.5 rear 2.25 front (Skunk2) to boot.

How low was your car? I was slammed on H&R race springs. Never had a problem car always rode solid. Now im on H&R oe springs. (1" drop) Rides like stock.
Back on topic though. Nice change. Don't listen to these people saying its dissapointing it looks better than it did.

lol we're lowered on the same exact shocks/springs, it rides really nice and firm.
I think the 2 setting in the front and 4 setting in the back is the best for ths shocks.
what are your settings?
before

after

i have a little wheel gap too, you still need to wait for the springs to settle ;p.
