thats a first, must of been a bad batch from production?

ud think they would test it (not literally on a car) before they sent them out for sale.

with tokico, ive read many reviews that it may well be good when you first install them, but in ~3months time the hardest setting is no more (becomes soft). also similar review with AGX.

hence i wouldnt touch anything besides konis and bilsteins

Ah okay mate, and yeh im still worried lol about.. umm how the Skunk2 will be pretty low but then these sport shocks will make it even more lower when we get them later?

ive heard about that, im not 100% sure if all sport shocks have a lower perch where the spring sits. OHmember Sp00ny claims his AGX was lower then his stock vtir shocks.

i know bilsteins have thicker monotubes.

for my sake, i hope konis/bilsteins arent lower

ah yeh for all our sakes.. ahaha looks like lots of us are gonna run same set ups... oh and I also heard the KONis are heigh adjustable anyway? like 3 steps or something.

ive had both the adj sleeves and lowering springs both were great i also had the skunk shocks on both, the ride was comfy no leaks if you have the lowering springs u can cut the bumpstops to have more drop i had 17s looked good and i had 15s with the adjs on and no dramas depending on what your going for , although make sure you do upgrade your LCAs and get some camber kits and maybe subframe brace been hearing bad stories my friends and i all use the same setup i have an EG and my friend has a 88 CRX and another with a del sol no dramas as of yet...

why do you need to upgrade LCA and subframe brace for just changing springs/shocks?
