I used to have KYB AGX's on my Accord. Loved them. I can't say much about reducing body roll and things like that. I think my Eibach Sportlines took care of a lot of the handling issues. But the AGX's are really nice because you can make your ride stiff and bouncy as hell or nice and easy like stock. I'd get them. I was considering getting some AGX's for my SC300 with stock springs, but I don't know if that's gonna do much for handling. Is that what you're planning on doing?

Hey SC300TURBO,
Did the Supra rear sway bar require modifications to install? You got the factory sway bar? Thanks.

Ya, but I bet you don't have a stock intake mainfold that tends to cause problems when buying a sway bar for the front. Guess my only option is the top-speed. I don't get it. Why does everyone say top-speed sway bars suck? Then everyone says I should get it because it's all the same.

Yes, I want to do full suspension and breaks. So far here is what I am planning to get over the winter in that order:

1. Eibach lowering kit for SC300.
2. KYB AGX 4 point adjustable shocks.
3. 18" rims with nice Z rated tires.
4. Supra TT breaks with bremo rotors (seposely that might work).

My Apexei S-AFC is on the way. I know that the HKS AFC is somewhat better, but I still like the design of the Apexei.

PS. Nice homepage howiedoit. What's up with the shoes section??

Ya, if you pay for them as much as they cost then they better be.
