kastle is extremely good at pricematching anything with great customer service. Also, like I said, for a bit more, you can get Konis which allow ANY drop and still keep the warranty.

 

Buy some coil overs.

 

KONIs would not allow any more drop than KYBs... you still couldn't go too low, but you could get KONIs rebuilt and shorten in the future, with shortening, you could run a little lower. KONIs are just more expandable compared to KYBs.

Q: How far can I safely lower my car?

A: KONIs are designed to fit standard height cars and can work with lowered cars as long as they don't bottom out internally and become damaged. Unlike some shocks, KONIs are not position sensitive so they will work properly anywhere in their stroke range providing they are not bottoming or topping out. Different vehicle suspension designs have different stroke travels but a good rule of thumb is that most vehicles can be lowered acceptably about 1 1/2 inches, beyond that the possibility of bottoming increases rapidly although some longer stroke cars can go lower. Most vehicles are equipped with bump stops to keep the shocks and springs from bottoming out. When lowering a vehicle be sure to reuse your bump stops as they are cheap insurance to avoid bottoming damage. Remember also that severely lowered vehicles typically also have a negative effect on suspension geometry, ride quality and handling, and tire and suspension part wear.


You can slam it as much as you want as long as it's not bottoming out.

While according to KYB's website (http://www.kyb.com/service/warranty.php)
The warranty is void if the product is used on excessively lowered (over 1.5") vehicles or in an aftermarket coilover suspension system.

 

I have installed like 4 sets of Konis, and used 2 for my own cars - they are truly awesome. You keep adjusting them and they basically never wear out. My Maxima was on Suspension Tech springs with a 2" drop and that car was great to drive for a front driver. The reasons I got the AGX's this time is because I am lazy and I don't have a garage anymore, not to mention the AGXs were cheaper. I really don't feel like hacking up stock strut housings again, and I am toning down my track habits these days. Plus, I figure even if I do decide to go with the Konis down the road, I can sell the AGX's with the P1's as a set. I used GR-2's on my Celica for track use for around 5 years and they were totally adequate since the car only weighed 2400lbs. The heavier your car combined with the more agressive your driving style is deems a need for better dampers.

Coilovers would be completely pointless for my uses and honestly most people's. I considered them for my WRX when I was going to the snow a lot, thinking I could lift my car up an inch for more clearance and still keep the lowness for street and track, but then the thought of aligning and cornerweighting my car all the time as if I were a r4c3r seemed really dumb. If I keep my car and eventually swap it, I might consider coilovers but mostly for the less unsprung weight aspect. Otherwise, unless you need the buzzwords or the bling, they are pointless (IMHO).

 

couldnt even find and for a 98 LGT
