AGXs wont take a slam very well, you better off getting a set of coils if you want slammed. Megans are good for a beginner setup and decent for the street. Check glustik’s thread he has a set for sale for $800, or contact Varun (slipperysilvia) for new ones. Roll your fenders and a bit of a pull, once your lowered with some camber they should tuck up nicely. You only have 10mm for the fronts? If so I’d recommend a 20-25mm spacer to get em flush. Is that the Megan type 2 exhaust? Waiting on Ahmads “slammed is gay, strech is gay, the real guys in the states do it this way and thats how you should do it, son is lame” comment ---

Honestly I don’t know why or how you would want to be any lower… your car is already frame rail and oil pan scraping low … or at least close enough. It’s not even practical… AGXs will blow as stated above forget about it… What is your car’s goal? Lowering it any further and you basically just make your ass more pain prone… If you just want the ‘look’ might as well save the oil pan and frames by getting some bigger area that goes lower to make it look lower. Just a suggestion… Otherwise stances apparently go really really low and ksports but ksports are absolute trash of trash. Not sure about megans if they go low low… ---

I got kei office coil overs on my S13, they are great, one time we slamed the car all the way down just for jokes to see what it’s like, I couldn’t even get over a pop can tillted on it’s side! I drove it down the street, I scraped everywhere, I turned around, drove it back in the shop and raised it again. It looked awesome but not to practical for GTA roads. ---

Did my research. Found more then better results. After the winter I plan on going with Stance GR+ Pro -$1429 (coilovers) They are entry level, but worth the coin. Best of all, they are Brand New. GL with your decission. Oh and I heard that Megans (drift spec i think, or something like that) are really stiff and not suitable for street, but amazing for a begginer setup on the track. ---

Yes, stance are good if you wanna dish out the extra coin. Megan has a track or street series, each with suitable spring rates. Figure out what you wanna do with your car (street, drift, drag ect…) and do some research to find out what coils fit your budget and work well for the driving you’ll be doing. ---

The first thing to think about is are you going to track this car at all or just drive in the street? If your just going to drive in the street buy some sleeves and be done with it but if your gong to track this car at all, think about getting something that performs better, but then you’ll find out your car wont take a corner very well that low anyways, haha. ---

dont run a GC sleeve kit on AGXs, you’ll regret your life. There is one guy I know that even tracked that, but after getting rid of the setup he cuzzed at them. The KYB stuff will blow as it cant really handle higher spring rates or lowering. It’ll get bouncy fast if you do that. In fact I owned AGXs, when I was installing them it said running springs that lower more than 2.0" voids the warranty (whatever that warranty is lol). I installed 1.5" drop springs by Tein though. If you want to do it right… itll be hard if you ALSO just want to slam it (here we go Im gona get bashed). If your goal is just to SLAM the car, get like… megans or something. If you want your car to handle… dont slam the car that that low… to begin with… If I were building a comfy well mannered car I’d go with 7kg/mm front and 5kg/mm rear koni yellows… and maybe whiteline swaybars front and rear… if you want to slam the car, and dont care about that… well… just get megans theyll go pretty low and stances theyll go lower too, i think bings had a thread a long long time ago on ziptied or something where he showed how low the car can go… and they were better built and better in feel than megans that hopped all over. ---
