Tell me what you think.











I had to throw in a walk-around/rev video.

Looks good only thing I dislike is the exhaust tip sticking out other than that looks awsome

Looks great! But tell us how it handles, and how it rides.

I love the ride over the stock setup. Body roll is greatly reduced and I love the way linear springs work. The AGX's to my surprise damp pretty well with Strano's springs. I have them set on 4 in the front and 2 in the back, and it takes all the little bumps nice and soft, compared to the stock jarring feeling. The ride is stiffer with the springs, but it's worth the compromise. Taking turns in this car got a whole lot better, as far as predictability, stability, and grip. With the stock setup, taking a turn hard felt like a jeep turning. Nose dive and squat is greatly reduced. All in all the body roll now compared to stock is what really amazed me. I feel a lot better knowing my car doesn't look like a damn tank around turns and during braking or haulin ***. I love the ride now and for only 700$ total for everything, it is totally worth it. Besides the huge amount of understeer that I have, everything is working great. Sam's sway bars would compliment this setup very much. I don't even have an alignment yet either, I'm waiting for some nice new tires to come in first.
