Kyb Agx's

Ok so my car came with KYB AGX adjustable struts. But it isnt low enough for me, Can I put lower springs in? Or chop em?

agx's can support about a 1" drop around. the warranty is void with anything lower than a 1.5" drop. basically tein, h&r, eibach, and rsr are good choices

don't "chop em"

you should never cut springs...it can make things dangerous, crappy, and cut-springsey.... i would be satisfied with the agx's, but if you're not, invest your money into some different coilovers-they're worth it

KYB is garbage no matter how you look at em. Get coilovers or better struts. I would vote for coilovers but budgets arent always coilover friendly.

Dude his name is "baby drifter", and asked if he/she should "chop em".... so for him.her, KYB's are fine

BTW when everyone said "go coilovers", we mean real coilovers. Figure $800ish or more a set, and remember that coilovers aren't just because people "want to go low".
