everything you need will be found there.

whats a group buy? for the KYB AGX and Eibach Pro-kit is the back and the front adjustable? and by how much?

The group buy is just when there are a bunch of people buying it at the same time so that you can get a better price for it (buying in bulk). Yes they are adjustable. Up to 1.6" drop in front and like 1.4 in the back. The shocks are adjustable for different spring rates, and they are real easy to do, all you need is a screwdriver and you can do it.

do you have pics of the system on a 3g for a visual reference?

just to clear up any confusion, the DROP is not adjustable. the way that you worded it above, it seemed like the 1.6" drop was adjustable. the shocks/struts are adjustable, not the springs.

for visual reference of the AGX/Prokit combo...

whats the difference between the kyb gr-2 and the kyb agx shocks?

the agx are adjustable

and the GR-2 isn't, its set at the equivalent of a "2" setting on the AGX

how low is your car dropped?

how low is your car dropped?

uhh....i don't know. i've never measured it.

is it dropped all the way?

is it dropped all the way?

yes, it is dropped as far as the eibach pro-kit will allow it to be.

just so you understand, lowering springs are not adjustable. if you lower the car with lower springs, you cannot specify how far the drop is. you either drop the car all the way by installing the kit, or you don't drop the car at all by not installing the kit. there is no middle ground with lowering springs.

These are not coilovers...i dont think that has been said. There is a difference between coilovers and lowering springs. Coilovers are adjustable height, and lowering springs are not. These are lowering springs, therefore no adjustability. Whatever the company says the drop is, thats what you get.

i thought eclipsed4utoo has the kyb agx struts also. b/c with the struts the ride height is adjustable.

no it isnt. Adjustable struts mean that the dampning force is adjustable. not ride height. Struts have nothing to do with ride height.

Very very very true. All the struts change is the stiffness. The height of the car depends on how many coils are on the spring (and how close they are togeather). Unless you get coilovers, you CANT change your ride height.

agreed.
