Thanks, I am glad I finally did it and it was easier than I thought with the help of a friend. Also Skirmich is running the moog ball joints for about 8,000 miles and so far so good.

It is much better than stock, turns I have little body roll. Right now I have them set at 2 out of 4 in the front, 2 out of 8 in the rear. Next week I'm going to bump it up to 4 in the rear.

Thanks, there actually tsx aspecs but they fill the fenders real well. I'm going to go with wider tires though maybe 235 or 245, just depends on how wide of a tire I can get on. 7.5" wheel. The last place that installed my struts installed the mounts upside down I got the moog endlinks for a low price of rockauto.com so I figured why not.

Thanks, I try to keep it clean. I usually wash it once a week rarely does it go 2 weeks, then I wax it every 6 months or so. Just makes me mad when I park way out and people don't care about your car and bumps into it.

NICE!!!! LOOKS BADASS!

How do you plan on setting up/changin the Rear Damper Settings on those AGXs? Or those are Externally Adjustable?

To modify my iLuminas Damper Settings its a real PITA on the Rear Shocks... Since they Adjust directly on the Shaft...

Thanks, to change the setting of the shocks is really easy all I have to do is reach behind the wheel and twist a nob/selector. I don't have to take out the back seat everytime I want to adjust them. That's part of the reason why I got them and the other part was I got a really good deal. Last night when I drive the car it felt even tighter and handled better but I still want to go to a higher setting on the rear.

They already have seemed to settled at least somewhat when I first did it I had 2finger gap front and 2.5 finger gap rear. Now I have barely 1.5 finger gap front and just under 2 rear. I've already put 100 miles on them so I need to take it in for an alignment Tuesday. I'll get some more pictures up that day also, hopefully my camera works so I don't have to use my phone.

I don't have them but if they are built like the endlinks than they have to be a lot stronger. Also I beleive they are adjustable -1.5 to 1.5
