Default strano springs. before + after

just installed my strano springs and kyb agx shocks. the car sits perfectly for my tastes and the handling is much improved- i can really throw it into a corner now while maintaining overall neutrality! the ride hasnt suffered very much at all either...

my only "complaint" is that the rear is a bit looser than i expected it would be...im still playing with the shocks though

well heres the pics:

before:





after:

Looks good, handles well, seems like I did ok. Thank you for posting.

If the rear feels lazy or sloppy compared to the front, you want to turn the rear shock damping up. We find with AGX's that the low to middle settings aren't very useful, and you end up in the 6-8 range very often, even then sometimes the owner needs more, which would mean a different damper.... This isn't a spring issue for the record. More spring would make it not as well balanced and more stiff legged overall. We have here a mismatched damping issue. The AGX's should allow you to get it better. Good enough? That's a personal opinion....
