I have some kyb agx schocks and ebay cut coilvers(lol) on my new suspension setup... Reason why I cut them is because the way they came the car didn't go low enough the way I wanted it so I cut them... Well my car is bouncy, and I did an alignment... 3 days later My toe is messed up once again... I am so frustrated... I paid $107 at GoodYear and have no warranty because the car is "lowered." I want to get some good coilovers that will slam my car on KYB AGX's... By slam I mean SLAM I don' want to cut them... any suggestions??? Also, where can I align my car for cheap... It is the second time I align it at Good Year, and both times it goes bad before a month... I am not about to pay $100 again so is there any cheaper place that does alignments...

BTW along with the suspension I put new tie rods (inner and outer), Control Arms, Ball Joints... SO I thought it would hold awhile.

Thanks

ground controls, bar none one of the best OTS kits available. if your only concern is to be "SLAMMED", take your springs out and ride on the shocks alone.. at heights like that it wouldnt matter if you had a spring or not.

you gotta be kidding me lol... I have a friend with skunk2 coilovers and his car is slammed. by slammed I mean the header is like almost draggin... cant stick your feet under the bumper and it doesn't ride bouncy. I am leaning towards this, problem is skunk2 claims their coilvers only lower 3 inches... and my friends is lowered alot more than that... This just confuses me and he has them with skunk2 shocks btw...

you stated your problem already. kyb's + cut springs/ebays, especially cut ebay coilovers = horrible shit that will make your ass bleed
