Well that kinda sucks...springs and struts are only 3 years old. Original plans back then for the car was to stop there on suspension mods...then i fell into a set of new speedbuilt strutbars, then the swaybar groupbuy happened. If i had known I was getting swaybars for the car back then, i would have just put coilovers in the plans. I have everything lined up to redo my interior, full sc/t and paint all by the end of the year...on top of having to buy a new set of summer tires for my 18s before next spring. I just cant see buying coilovers in the next year from a budget poimt of view....im spending too much as it is...

They aren't coilovers. No one makes coilovers for our car... other than custom. The AGX's are just better struts than the GR2's, and have adjustable dampening so you can set them firmer. They are still normal struts though.

I knew what agx's where..i was just saying if i knew then what i know now, i just would have went ahead and planned on coilovers based off agx struts, which were available back then. I prob havent looked as hard as you for agx struts, but i have noticed that the coilovers that wottech is making are based on gr2s.which kinda doesnt make sense to me...but i am not all that up to speed on suspensions. Either way i am.stuck with the struts i have for at least a year. I dont know if agx struts are even being produced for these cars anymore. maybe this time next year my options will be a little clearer.

Those are the 2nd gen LED tails, the black housing ones. That's not "tint" either, it's a mixture of black paint and clearcoat. Three coats of the mix, and three coats of just clear, then baked dry. No wetsanding, they dried to that polished finish. Only the top half is tinted, for a 50/50 euro look. They now belong to another member on here, he also bought my headlights.
