eibach sportlines and kyb agx review

I just finished putting a set of eibach sportline springs and kyb agx shocks.
price breakdown:
sportlines- 125
agx- 300

I am am all bruised up from installing these suckers but it was worth while.
the sportlines give a nice drop to my car with my tires just a bit tucked in my fenders. the agx shocks are nice too, but i need to experiment with all the settings. ( 8 way adjustable in back 4 way in front) so far i tried only the highest settings in the shocks.
The ride was stiff (because of the high setting, but the handling was soo much better. no more body roll (during hard turns i felt like i was sliding more then falling over) however the hardest setting proved to make me feel every little bump in the road, and made it feel like a train ride.
overall I am impressed by my purchase. i'll later post how the med and light settings are.

do you have strut braces or tie bars installed as well? you got those mods for a pretty good price too. I can't decide which to do first, suspension or engine swap.

thanks for the review. when you try the other settings, post them in here cuz i'm gonna put this in the FAQ

i just put kyb agxs and a pro kit on my car.. bout a 2 finger gap in front and 1 in back (due to my heavy system). they are set at 2 in front and 4 in back right now. i haven't had a chance to mess with them but so far with the middle settings the ride is much stiffer and not bouncy at all. i'm impressed. i think i'll stiffen the back end up a lil bit. i have a suspension techniques rear sway bar waiting to be put on.. can't wait!

are the kyb alot cheaper then the tokico illuminas. i was going to get the illuminas but they run for botu 500. is it also a good buy for the price.

i dunno how close they are to illuminas but if you're gonna spend 500 get koni yellows.. once i realized i could get the agxs AND my springs for the same price as just the yellows, my decision was clear.. i really like my agx's so far.

Where did u get that kinda deal?

i just looked up on the internet and found the agx shocks for 340. thats a lot cheaper then the illuminas. i think i will be going with some agx's. i am going to match mine with some comptech springs. only 188.00 with a 1.5" drop.

the sportlines i got from a friend after he used them for only two months.
the agx springs i got from this guy who apparently mis quoted me so i got a deal... (he sells them for 340 shipped)

Decent prices when you factor in the shipping (shipping is included on the group buy)

so far:
i've really enjoyed the ride, ihaven't changed the setting cuz i'm too lazy to adjust the rears (which requires me to adjust from behind the tire on the strut itself.) the fronts require a little screwdriver to press on them and twist , which isn't hard.
the ride is stiff still, but i enjoy the lack of body roll, but now my tires give.

Man, must have been the weekend for dropping cars, cause I dropped mine too. Eiback Pro-kit on KYB's for me too. :D

So far they seem good. A little stiff, but definately less roll. On setting 4 in front and back. I'll probably play around with the settings this week, but so far I'm satisfied. Got a two finger gap all around. Still have the stock rims on though. I'll be adding my 17's and the camber kit this coming weekend. I'll have some before and after pics up tomorrow.
