got shocks to go with that?

Sportline springs will kill stock shocks.

They'll probably kill Tokico HP's and KYB GR-2 shocks as well.

I just got done installing them on my kyb agx and love the ride. stiff but not over kill for a DD and dropped the car about 1.5 inch overall. Still need to get the car aligned and put the new wheels and tires on it before I take it for a real test drive

Its not to bad If all the bolts come out. I did mine in less then ideal location and changed out a few other parts working by myself and had the car all buttoned up in 4 hours.

they are listed for 1.7 f and 1.5 rear. my springs (oem 220K on them) where sagging so badly it actually brought the ride hight up a little on the rear and leveled out the front. The front after running the car and rechecking everything is 1.75 inch lower. The tire and whell well is nice an tight. I finnaly had some time to run on a few my favorite twisty roads. Wow what a differance, big smile really big smile. What a great handling pakage they make with the KYB AGX.
