When i bought my car, it had QA1 coilovers. My rear end would slam.. mechanic told me it was the coilovers. So i sold them... big mistake. Bought the KYB AGX's and eibach pro kit.. Rear end still bottomed out.

Turned out to be $40 bump stops..

S'all good now.. Cause now I got Koni's. I can't freakin' wait to drive this car with all the modifications I've done.. engine and suspension.

They're a little better than stock.. Honestly I should've never got them and just saved up for the Koni's. (although i can't share my opinion on the Koni's.. seeing as how I haven't driven with them yet)

But for a set of KYB AGX's.. it's like $400. For a set of Koni SA Yellows.. it's like $700 from www.stranoparts.com

I would just wait and buy the Koni's. EVERYONE told me to wait, cause I'll end up changing them anyway. I chose not to wait.. and whadd'ya know, I changed them.

& I sold the AGX's already lol. They're really nothing more than a "little better than stock" + adjustable replacement.

i doubt it, and if they did all they'd have are OEM replacements. which is a no no for your car. tubular k-member and a nasty set up with rubber mounts is blasphemy

Oh thank god I found them, lol. They were in my back seat.

I'm going to pick up the heads in a bit.. guaranteed I'll be up til 4AM putting this together. HOPEFULLY it'll be running by AT LEAST this weekend, if not earlier.

As for the roller rockers, I'm gonna have to wait. I have money left for oil, fluids, and little things like that. I gotta save it just in case lol.

Oh and nice sig Bri!
