What are you looking to change about the car? What do you plan on doing with the car? (street fun, drag racing, auto-x, road race etc)

agx is really stiff. a friend with agx and vogtland springs in his camaro took me for a drive through some nice roads. they seem to handle good, but i might as well have been sitting in an aluminum race chair while driving a go-kart through a bed of rocks. i could go on about this. i wanted those shocks, but they were way too harsh.

really, you need to get yourself some konis if you want your car to handle and/or ride nice. especially so if you're going to lower the car. i had some bilsteins on for a few years and just switched to konis (installed today) and i am seriously impressed. i'll write up a review of them as soon as i can think of anything other than cheerful expletives.
