KYB AGX + GC Eibach.

sorry man I dont know what your talking about. GC also sells bumb stops.

Im sure with Konis my car would ride night and day. But I cant afford the fuckers right now.

The front suspension has less than 2 inches of compression travel before you hit the bump stops in stock form. Lets say you drop the car 2 inches, now you have no travel at all. So then you cut the bump stops in half, now you have about 1.5 inches of travel. Not to mention that the sleeves themselves will likely interfere with compression travel. With that little compression travel you are almost sure to bottom out your suspension. Any full length adjustable coilovers will leave you with at least 2.5 to 3 inches of travel (if they are set-up right), which will be plenty of travel to avoid bottoming out. Also, how the car rides is a non-issue to me I ONLY care about how it handles!
