The dampening adjustability is awesome dude, and very easy to adjust. Now height adjustability, I don't think I'd get those cause it's alot of work to adjust that, that's why when I lowered my Accord, I went with AGX instead of Koni Yellows

at first you wont notice it all. as they have to settel for awhile . i forget how long they sugest you wait before they get to the new ride height.

but as far as noticing it. you will if your parked next to another monte. it is not much but it is enough to notice a diffrence. also in the wheel wells you should see a diffrence also.

ANYONE here have a lower car? that they can park next to one that hasent been? this would be the best way to see the actual diffrence. i have seen this on a diffrent fourm where they had a side by side. you could defently see it

true, i do like that i dead for the wife and kids that like it softer then i do. I ahte having a real soft ride. the whole reson for me wanting to do this is so i can get the ride stiffer to make it corner better.

i found out just how bad the cornering was when i got over here and went up and down a coupel of small foot hills. they would be about the equal to like running the I-5 goign south. not real tight cornners but tight enough you can make the suspention work.

Exactly! When I was shopping for suspension on my Accord I had gotten some Neuspeed Sport lowering springs and was gonna get the KYB GR2 shocks since they're basically built the same as the AGX but without the adjustability, and cost half as much. I found the GR2's for $166 shipped and the AGX for $340 shipped........I ended up going with the AGX for the adjustability, I could tighten it up when it's just me in the car and soften it up when the family is with me. I loved them!

I was able to find out that the AGX are available for our car, but damn, they cost alot. Part# 734058 front/ 734059 rear, they run about $280 per pair.

I have the eibach springs that lowered it 1 1/2" and non-adjust KYB's. I am going with the adjustables when I replace them.

And today I had the SLP sway bars put on....what a difference!

I now have the Eibach springs, KYB struts, SLP sway bars, cross drilled rotors, ceramic brake pads,stainless steel brake lines, and 8.5" x17"rims with 255-45-17 z rated Dayton tires.The car handles and stops like a dream. In fact, the tires will let go before the car gets squirrelly. I love it !
