Yum yum! :) Stiff.. yet good :)

Welp! If anybody's been following the threads lately.. you'll know what I've picked up.

I've got a new toy on my car. Now my car's stiff.. yet more comfortable than stock!

I'm very impressed with the results.

Let me tell you that my car grips corners like you won't believe. I take onramps and everybody in my car slides on the seats BUT the tires don't let go of the road.. even when the road has HUGE gruts in it.

(Islington southbound Gardnier onramp heading downtown) Damn man...

I started installing these shocks/spring combo at 7 PM yesterday in my garage and due to the seized bolts here and there.. we finished @ 1:30 AM. But the payoff was great.

The ride is VERY VERY comfortable. There's no bounce like the stock shocks had yet it just eats up potholes like they were flat ground. You have to sit in my car to believe it because I know nobody will.

Shocks: KYB AGX (set on #2 all the way around)
Springs: Tein S-Tech

I used the factory uppermounts and stuff..!

I'll come out to the next meet we have and you guys can feel it. It's stiff yet comfortable.

My car probably can't go as fast as a lot of cars out there but I'm pretty sure it can corner a lot better :P

I actually bought them off another member on this site so it was $700. What a steal! GREAT DEAL!

My stock suspension had tracking and wonder problems on the 401 around Yonge St in the Westbound Express where the road becomes bad, now it feels like I'm in control, at the same time comfortable

Great use of money! I recommend everybody shocks!
