I finally got my AGX Struts and Intrax Springs installed, thanx to vosko for the advice on those strut bolts. (ended up using my friends air gun) The car rides nice, i have the shocks on the softest setting right now and the ride isn't as bad as most people say. The car has very little body roll which could probably be reduced further by changing settings, also the rear has some definate camber problems (end-links soon). Id say this mod was definately worth the investment.

the car is probably gonna drop a little more once the springs settle, but its definately lower than with the stock ****. (the old springs and shocks were all worn and sagging)

How long have you been driving it this way?&nbsp Those pictures look like they were taken immediately after installation?&nbsp Any time you jack the car up, it takes a while for shocks and springs (especially new ones) to settles.&nbsp Intrax claims a 1.8" drop - the picture sure doesn't look like your suspension has settled.&nbsp With this kinda extreme drop, you're running into serious negative camber problems in back - as you have found out.&nbsp A rear camber adjust rod just might be able to get the camber within reasonable specs...
