I bought all new suspension for the car. I got KYB AGX Adjustable struts and Tein S tech lowering springs. Does anyone else have this setup or one of these parts on their car?

I'm thinking of swapping to AGX's myself. I put in GR-2's with Eibach springs about 4 months ago and the GR-2's are just to soft, But then again I did not expect more of a OEM replacement.

I have the AGXs on my car (2g) with h&r race springs. The shocks are real nice for the price. This is my second set, I got some for my s14 about 4 years ago. The old ones are now on my friends car with Eibach Sportlines (2 inch drop,blue car in my sig)and they still ride nice after 40k or so..
The h&r springs though, I can't say I'd recommend them, they're a bit too low, lol. Nice and stiff however, I think they're like 450lbs in the front, 275 in the back or something...
Anyway I dunno if its the stiff springs I have or what, but I would be careful with the rear shock setting. Start low and work it up. Especially in the rain, my car gets really tail happy with them set above 5.
Don't forget to replace the bushings when you get the shocks out if you haven't already...

I did order new bushings. I looked at the H&R race springs but from the reviews it wasn't practical for the street. The Tein springs advertise a 1.5" drop, which is around where my current setup sits, maybe even lower right now.

Basically how it handles. What are your settings on the struts? Is it bouncy? Rough? Was there camber? Any pictures? Lol. Just thinking of stuff off the top of my head...
