IffyG was selling a set of AGX with lowering springs already mounted on them...

I wonder if he sold them yet.

They have a sale pending... shame

Thanks, and yeah I'm pretty glad to. She claimed that once the springs are back in her possession she'll send full payment back. So I'll possibly getting the cheaper lowering springs on eBay that actually lower the car LOL

More $$$ to put towards struts I guess lol

Same here! I was keeping my eye out for some vogtlands and I didn't have the $$ when Iffy was selling his. Maybe I'll delay lowering until I can find decent springs but it sounds like that's not an option anymore LOL

I've heard decent things of SSC springs? Anyone have those?

Thanks for the link! I'm debating right now LOL. I found some new Vogtland's (yes real Vogtlands, not OEM ) and GR2s for around $300 shipped.

So I either pay $800 for AGX and Eibach, or GR2 and Vogtlands for less than half I'm still debating. Hard decision of course because I could afford the GR2 set up and be lowered within a month, or do I wait and buy a more expensive set-up until winter.

There are multiple places online that still show the Eibach's as being available and able to purchase even though they aren't available anymore. I found that out the hard way. Placed an order for Eibach's for my 06 because it shows them as being available even though they are not. Got a call two days later informing me that Eibach discontinued them a while ago. So my question is, why would you still make them available to purchase at all, let alone show the product?

I ordered a set of SSC's springs for my 06 because, from what I've read, a lot of people seem to like those. Looked at Vogtlands also but there's more out there on the SSC's for our cars so I went with those.

Here's some pictures of the KYB AGX/Eibach setup I had on my 03 Monte. I did this in May 2007.
