So I found a set of 4 KYB Adjustable AGX struts with new top plates, new isolators, new bearings and new Vogtland lowering springs for $500
Is that a good deal?

my set up currently is Sprint lowering springs and they're the same drop as Frank listed, not the same price however, i used KYB struts with it and that's all i did, car dropped about 1.75 inches all around after 5000 miles or so, i haven't had not one issue with this set up yet, didn't need an alignment and i didn't get any shorters dog bones, bushings etc etc.
oh i am still running the stock 16" wheels, 20's might be a problem being that low....

So i removed the springs today lol i got in contact with the ebay user and he told me they might've been defective
once i return them i'll be getting a new set and hopefully that does the trick :p
in the meantime i was able to find a brand new set of front strut assemblies on craigslist for only $60!
the ones i was planning to use were used
the rears are still good though. now i just have to wait till i get another set of springs ![Frown](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)
