Check out my Stiffy

Finnaly got my stiff suspension done
What a difference it makes.. it's night and day difference. Engine wise, the car is almost stock, it's not very fast but at least I don't have to slow down anymore in curves. If you haven't done any upgrades to your suspension DO IT. I can say I've fallen in love with my FC all over again. Here are some pics of the trash the car had on and what it got now. Those are KBY AGX adjustable shocks 8-way in the back 4-way in the front. Suspension Tech Springs lowered the car 1". I love the shocks at it's stiffest setting it will make you puke and in soft setting it gives a comfy ride.
Thanks to the people who helped me out

This is the rear shock/spring assembly:

I said it above, yes they are KYB AGX Adjustables. The rear are 8-way adjustable and the front are 4-way adjustable. The springs lowered the car 1". I am not sure how high off the ground it is now.

It feels like I am in a different car. I guess the stuff I took off had been there since new. The shocks were so messed up that by holding it upside down the rod would come out.
Here are pics of the car now.

Hey cprx7, I know where you took your pictures. I'm in that area like all the time but I've never seen your car driving around before?

Hello EfiniGilr, I drive on river road quite often. I took the car to Bubble Bath car wash in North Bergen today. On the way back I took these pics. I haven't seen many FC's around either and the ones I see I flash my lights at
