    This write up can really be applied to any stut made for our cars but, in this case I wanted to have maximum control over every aspect of my suspension that I could. What better way than to have instant height adjustment through coilovers and stiffness through the KYB AGX 4-Way Adjustable Struts.

    :WARNING:

    This involves some dangerous equipment if used incorrectly so as always, safety first. Also note after doing this mod, if you screw up it is not my fault and you can easily ruin your struts. Finally this is to get them to work with coilovers, so in the event you want to switch back to a regular spring/strut setup, you will need to replace your struts. $$$


    (PS if your wondering why its all fancy looking, I also originally did this for the owner of HT/Held Motorsports for his site...)

    Depends on what springs you order sorta, I mean mine will always be rough as I have 400lbs in the rear for the track but, with that I can fine tune the stiffness/slack with the AGX's... Can't say much as I had them in for maybe 2 weeks before my motor blew.
