planning to put tenzo rear lower tie bar to stiffen up a bit. tokk a week to get used to the settings but love it now. need better seats to keep me in place during sharp curves here in PA..,

Airlift Easy Street Kit.
I think it works out to about 5 inches lowered when it is down.
All the way up is 1.5-2" below stock.
No camber kit, Can't use it or the wheels won't tuck.
19x8 ADR wheels, don't know the offset, but they work.
The car rides great with about 50psi all the way around. If you turn up the dampening on the shocks it really handles well.
Not to mention, when it is laid out, people love it.

Toyo Proxes TPT 205/55/16
I did measure prior to the install. The rear only went down about .5" but the front went down about 1.2". I hope the settle down some more though. The measurments after install showed both rears the same and both fronts the same, every wheelwell measurment prior to install were all different. So now I know the car isn't leaning at all.
I drove it today for like 80 miles, mostly highway. WTF!!!!!!!!!!! I've missed this for the last five years. It drove mint and I didn't even go for the alignment yet. Set on 2 all around. Its very tight and blows the stock stuff away big time. Bounce is fine, not too much. I really am impressed with this setup, it's like a whole new car.

SHOCKS/STRUTS-KYB-GR2 for both
CAMBER KIT-RRE
RIMS-17' ADR Spades
TIRES-Wanlo 215/45Z/17
STRUT BAR-Freedom Design
REVIEW-Rides a little stiff, but more concerned with the humps on the strut platform. The springs twang after a few turns of the wheel from riding over them. How do I fix that problem, get it flattened down?
-
Shocks/struts(same thing) - KYB AGX. Set on 3 all around. I think i'll move it to 2 soon.
Springs - Progress
Camber kit - not needed. No noticable change. I haven't went for alignment yet, so they could say I need one.
Wheels - Exel TZ-7 17"
Tires - Nankang NS-1 215/45/17

'96 7g es
Weapon R coilovers (like a 3" drop. The tops of the tires are level with the bottom of the fenders.)
Kyb GR-2's all around
Ractive front upper strut bar
OBX rear lower tie bar
I sold my wheels so I'm rolling stock right now.
I have an Ingalls camber kit, but have yet to install it.
I had ebay coils, but got brandon's Weapon R coils and just swapped the springs out. It is a big improvement. It's still bouncy, but not nearly as bouncy. The front upper strut bar made the front feel a little tighter. The rear lower definitely reduced body flex.

Springs - Tein S-tech lowered about 2.2 in front 1.5 in back.
Shocks - KYB AGX all set on 4 https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif
Plus a STB.
In regards to the shocks - Overall it rides pretty nice, bumpy, but that what I like, I want to feel the road. There is no more body sway on corners and when braking...it acually rides better than my dads Vette Z06...well, almost https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif When I get back to Chicago, I'm gonna set it on 2 front, 3 back. I would suggest that anyone gets these shocks from www.performancepartsstore.com, talk to jessica and tell her you want the Club3g group buy price of 335 shipped. These are the best

I just had the KYB AGX's installed yesterday and man what a difference compared to stock. Tight on corners, bumps and dips are no longer annoying and even seems to react to my gas pedal a little better at the line (could be my imagination).

This is a helpful thread. I need to replace my rear and want to go with KYB.. how much better is the AYX over the GR-2. I'm only asking cause of the cost difference. Is there a performance problem if I just upgrade the rear?

Ok, new setup I got a week ago. Got the TEIN basic dampers installed and have ridden on them for a bit now to try them out. At first the shop put me too low. Pissed me off cuz I told um how high I wanted it and they just decided to put it lower on their own. I had it slammed with the 19's, tire was tucked and it rubbed a bit. Back was same but didn't rub. Now I have it set at about 1/2"-3/4" about the tire. The new look compared to the Eibach Pro's I had is awesome. Front gap was still too much for me and now I'm happy.
Ok ride...they are brand new and I notice they're a bit stiff, but I'm pretty sure they'll loosen a bit and it'll be better. Our streets are absolutely horrible up here so that makes a difference too. Overall, good reaction off of potholes, cracks, fucked up places in the road. Not too rough, but for some reason making my cd player skip now. Bumps are much better than the Eibach/stock shock setup. Like I said, they react quick and for as low as I have it, and with the 19's its overall not that bad in my opinion. You'll never get a smooth ride with this type of setup unless you spend big $$$$. Like i said, I had the shop do it, so no help on install from me. Oh yeah, I may require a camber kit for the rear. Raising it helped, and I may raise it a tad more, but lookin like its gonna need it. Front is straight though. I plan on postin pics here soon. Wanna get my visor installed and take all new pics for everyone to enjoy. Any questions anyone might have, feel free to PM me and i'll do my best. peace

Not too bouncy, and works fine for now. No major complaints. Seems I've gotten somewhere between 2-3" actually out of this combination when compared to some stock 7Gs around town. Most definitely better than the stock springs I had before.

I have an '01 Galant ES i4
I currently have Intraxx springs and I would like to say that these springs really SUCK. From the very minute I had them installed it was one wild ride. Everyone tells me that my struts are probably blown but I have experienced this bouncy ride right from the very moment they were put in and it has not gotten better or worse over the 1 1/2 yrs i've had them, it's the same exact sucky ride. I originally had stock tires when it was installed now is have 18" chrome and it is still the same. So i'm looking into purchasing something else really soon.
