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.

yeah yeah, came on the car. gimme an ex/si cluster and it will go away. i cant take it off or there wont be any plastic covering the gauges to protect them from dust, and other such things.

tomorrow i will, i worked all day today. also, i need new tires. the 195/50's are too small for it. it used to be dumped on some cheap coilovers when i bought it, but it rode so bad i couldnt even stand it. so i went to stock...integra, springs lol (explains the height)

in your opinion yes...in my opinion not. thanks for the criticism tho


overall im happy with the ride...i wish it was a bit lower but my roads are made for rednecks with lifted trucks. so ill have to deal with it.

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.
