TT Suspension ?
i am planning on buying KYB AGX shocks made for the TT and Eibach springs for the TT, just wanted to know if this will work with the OEM SC strut mounts? also would you recommend changing the spring insulators with new ones? also does anyone know if the KYB AGX shocks come with new bump stops or will i have to reuse the OEM ones?

my Swift springs are pretty forgiving at 9kg/4kg. I have the Tokico adjustable shocks. After some tweaking, I think I have optimized comfort and handling.
On the softest setting, the shocks will let me bottom out the suspension up front. On the stiffest setting, the tires are the sole supplier of dampening. I have it currently set at 3/5 all around: it will not bottom out even on big pot holes, but it rides forgiving at the same time.
They are not cheap, but they have my full recommendation. Their high build quality resists sagging and spring rate fade like the Eibachs will over time.
That all being said, I have no experience with any other set up. But, I must say I did not sacrifice much in the way of comfort from the stock suspension after the drop except that the car is much more controlled now.
The set up you are eyeing up will definitely work. I reused my stock suspension components that are younger than 70k miles with no ill effects.
