Default What else besides springs and shocks do i need to lower my gsr?

I got my KYB AGX's and i am going to install them with hr sports. My question is what else do i need to install them (i.e. bumpstops, washers, top caps, dustcovers). Do i just take all the stuff off the stock assembly and put it on the new shock and spring???

Thanks in advance

- Chris

dunno about your springs, but when I installed my GC's with the AGX, we re-used the bumpstops and dust covers, but we cut them quite a bit.

Yes, you use everything that was on the stock assembly. Also with the AGXs (i have them too) there are instructions and a few washers and a nut that you have to use. You might want to invest in a camber kit too. From my experience, whatever lowering springs you get, you have to adjust the camber so you dont get uneven wear. My brothers Eibach Prokit (only a 1.25" drop i think) even needed a camber kit.

Not true. There are many people on this board that have 2" drops with perfectly fine tire wear. Make sure you get an alignment, and rotate the tires every oil change.
