Can anybody help me out with this?
I bought my 2002 WRX sedan when it first came out and just like all you, I joined i-club right away and started doing research on how to give my car some personality.
I bought some 18 inch rims, morrettes, and H&R springs. I always vowed to evenatually go back within a year and add a set of shocks for my springs. However 3 years later and I still have not gotten around to it. I remember when people had to modify KYB AGX shocks in order to fit them in their 2002 WRX. I assume that has changed now and KYB has come out with proper shocks for the right models.
Recently my ride has become unbearable and obviously very bouncy and it is time to bite the bullet and buy that set of shocks. I have read through the posts and can't seem to figure out what set of shocks i should get for a better ride. I'm still riding on the H&Rs, so what shocks should I couple with them?
I don't race and am seeking just for the comfort back into my ride.
I have found a deal for a set of KYB AGX but have heard that H&R springs may be too low and will wear these out quickly. any truth to this?
thanks in advance.

anything lower then 1.5 inch will void the KYB warrenty
I think the H&Rs might be a bit too low...
I am no expert, but
I would recommand you to get another set of springs instead of using the H&Rs with the AGXs.
I think you should get a better ride (with springs that drop more conservatively than H&Rs), and it is also better for the struts.
