KYB AGX shocks, Eibach springs. Set the rear hard and the front slightly less hard

no, I run the KYB GR-2. the AGX are adjustable to the point of track, road or off-road worthyness. The GR-2 are tuned for street driving. I have the Eibach drop springs and they're great. Everyone will recommend them.

I might be wrong, but last time I checked KYB does not have a part# listed for the AGX ajustable shocks on our tib (97-01), they only produce the GR-2. I also don't know of any company that makes aftermarket suspension control arms for our cars again. Eibach also only produces the Pro-kit for our tibs, the Sport-line ins't available. Sucks hung! sad.gif

Up to last year, I had the KYB GR-2 and Eibach Pro-kit too. When I went to the drag strip I would also had a rubber block in the springs in the rear only to keep the rear of the car from droping to much because of weight transfert. You can had air pressure in the rear tires as weel and of course drop the front air pressure.

This year, I've got the Ksport Gt Pro ajustable coilover kit, so I'll be ajusting the front almost to the minimum and rear to the stiffest possible. I also have the full Yaya polyeurethane bushing kit which helps to stiffen up the hole suspension. Front and rear engine mounts are a must! Whether your fill them yourself or buy the kit from kspec and friends. The last thing I might end up with are costom tractions bars at the front, to help minimise wheel hop, specialy with drag slicks which have a ton of grip! cool.gif

i just received in the mail KYB AGX struts and have the eibach pro spring kit also. just got them this week so they are not installed yet. all told I spent $761.00.

before someone says "coilovers" I didn't want them.

I also have, just sitting around the full YAYA bushing kit and H&R front and rear sway bars with KJB mototsports swar bar endlinks arriving soon for both front and rear.

bought the springs from KJB motorsports (highly recommended, quick shipping) and the KYB's I got from jdmwerks13 off of ebay(quick shipping also).

as far as APE good luck, very few and far between parts were ever seen from them.
