Thanks for the compliments guys...I started taking of the molding yesterday and it really cleaned up the body lines. I will post pics this weekend as I have another show....hopefully two "BEST OF SHOW"s in a row!

I agree I installed my rear AGX shocks and the car rides awesome.

what settings are you running your shocks at? and do you have any rubbing issues with those springs? I love the stance on it

I put all the factory suspension pieces off the SOM car onto my wife's 98 TA when I did the swap (28,000 mile car vs 128,000 mile car) and to be honest this one rides so much better than hers even now (the new stuff is a world of improvment over what she had though) that I am thinking of doing the AGXs on her car.

I am running the shocks all at 4...I figured I would start in the middle and play with it from there. But honestly it feels great as is. I have zero rubbing anywhere...the rear is close with the 19x11s and 295/35s but they dont rubb and the fender is not rolled. The car is actually only about 1/2in lower than it was stock with the bigger wheels...so ground clearence really isnt bad either. I have a stainless airdam and I was worried about that but so far so good....even loading it on my trailer.
