suspension help

I have a 97 GST with KYB AGX shocks. All are adjustable height and on the front I can adjust stiffness. I also have eibach sportline springs. When I lower the car the ride gets ridiculously rough. Is it like that with all adjustable suspensions or do I have something set up wrong? O, and one more thing, I am going in to get a complete alignment. When I have them do it, it will be set at one hight. I know it throws everyghing off when I adjust the hight. How bad dose it mess things up and how much will it affect the wear of the tires?

Re: suspension help

AGXs are adjustable damping front and rear, your height is not adjustable with eibach sportlines. Either you misquoted the parts you have, or something else in your post

Assuming you have AGXs and sportlines, you do need to cut the bumpstops leaving just the big section, like scottsee said. Then how harsh it is will depend on how stiff you set the shocks. The sportlines are not a very stiff spring rate so it should not be too harsh of a ride with proper setup and settings.

Thanks. I didn't realize it but I got the car with the suspension in it. I saw that the front were adjustable on the top of the shock and just assumed that it would be in the same place on the rear. I guess that's what happens when I assume things. But after I started looking at a new set of rear ones(the rears are starting to leak) I noticed they put the adjuster down at the bottom. Thanks for the help.
