Default New from Indiana

I've been a member on the site for a week or so and recently picked up a hatch. It's a 93 Si.

Once I get the hatch cleaned up I will be daily driving it. Some future plans I have for it are to: finish completing the interior, cup holders,
wet sand and buff the paint (has too much orange peel for my liking), replace the eGay springs and stock struts with H&R/KYB AGX, and
give it a full detail. Eventually, I would like to refresh the d16 but it's running like a champ for now.

thats why he said "replace the ebay springs and stock struts with h&r and kyb agx"

anyways

welcome to the site.

i used to have kyb agx shocks. i loved them however i would go with either a full coilover or a ground control and agx or koni shock (koni is slightly better)

i used to have just standard lowering springs on my agx's, while the ride was nice and i enjoyed them, the drivers side sags (extra weight on drivers side) and that sag drove me nuts.

a coilover system will allow you to control it better.

not to mention ground control and koni's are a proven setup

Yeah I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted yet. I know I'll probably stay with kyb agx. I just found a thread showing the agx/ground control setup. I think that's the route I'll be taking. Thanks for the suggestion.
