we just installed mine on saturday, except i substituted GR2's, since KYB doesn't make AGX's that fit the rear of my car.
i too was a little worried about the 1.8~2.0 drop (plus the additional settling)...i don't have the exact measurement, and i highly doubt it dropped that much, but it's PERFECT.
now i just need to wait for my left rear strut to get here to finish the job, since tire rack sent me 2 right rears... :curse: now it looks like i should have big mickey thompsons on the back, since the rear still sits slightly higher. :lol: yeehaw.
the ride quality is a little weird right now with the stiff front and 106,000mi jello-like rear, but driving over to a friend's house on a chopped up brick road, it wasn't harsh.
turn in is now telepathic and razor sharp...but then i have to wait for the back to catch up. i also managed to stall in traffic on the way to work this morning, since the front actually has traction...no more simply easing the clutch out to get moving, since the front tires actually want to stick now. it should be interesting to see if i can also improve on my ET...i didn't realize the fronts were THAT bad.
by the way, what's the expected lifespan of a KYB gas strut?
