Well, there is a difference between lowering your car and crushing the hell out of it. Here is the warranty guide from KYB:

AGX WARRANTY GUIDE - PRODUCT ABUSE
A careful inspection of the AGX® unit will help you reveal abuses that can void the KYB product warranty. Here are some examples of product damage on AGX® shocks caused by misuse and/or modification:

KYB AGX® unit with springseat reversed to accommodate a shorter spring.

Small diameter coil spring markings on the standard springseat reveal use of a small diameter coilover spring.

KYB unit with springseat reversed to accommodate a shorter spring.

Markings on the standard springseat show it was used to support a coilover kit.

Bayonet style lower mount (e.g. Honda and Mitsubishi front end) with "push through" markings due to excessive bottoming-out.

Standard springseat is ground away to provide clearance for a coilover kit threaded collar.

Small diameter coil spring markings on the standard spring seat show use of a small diameter coilover spring.

Rubber deposits on the striker plate (black color) indicate excessive bottoming and seal damage.

coilovers is for sure the way to go, the MR coilovers are very high quality and descent in price.

Oooo, I just got a deal on some MR's. I got them at a VERY good price too, from a distributor who apparently knows the guy who owns MR.

I haven't put them on yet, due to lack of time--but I'll let you guys know how they are once I get 'em on!

They look pretty damn sweet though.

TEE HEE!

OHHHH man, I just installed them last weekend, and I've been running them pretty hard so far. I've got them set on 16 right now, and it's fairly stiff already. But think about this...these things are 32 way adjustable. 32!! So that means I can set the damper 16 times harder! It's great.

Daily driving, it's pretty rough...but thats expected. When I take it down the back roads though?! Wow! Very little body roll as opposed to before, I DEFINITELY can corner a LOT better...I don't have that feeling of "tipping over". I love 'em.

I'll probably take pictures sometime, once I get the car cleaned...it's been a while. x_x

I can definitely recommend these to anyone!
